Verizon is offering a discount of Fox Corporation’s new streaming app Fox One to its premium wireless and home Internet customers, the company announced on Wednesday.
Customers of Verizon’s myPlan and myHome services will be able to subscribe to Fox One for $15 per month, which will unlock streaming access to Fox’s local broadcast network and cable channels like Fox News Channel, Fox Sports 1 (FS1), Fox Sports 2 (FS2) and Fox Business Network.
Angie Klein, Verizon’s Senior Vice President of Consumer Growth Marketing and Content, said the partnership reinforces Verizon’s focus on value and flexibility.
“Our promise is simple: everyone gets a better deal with Verizon,” she said. “With this new option, customers get even more choice, savings and flexibility to build the plan that works for them — no strings attached — all backed by America’s Best 5G network.”
Tony Billetter, Fox Corporation’s Senior Vice President of Strategy and Business Development, Direct to Consumer, called the collaboration an opportunity to expand how audiences access Fox content.
“Together, we’re providing viewers with more choice and accessibility, and we’re excited to deliver this incredible value to Verizon’s myPlan and myHome customers,” he said.
Verizon’s customizable myPlan and myHome packages allow subscribers to build mobile and home internet bundles with add-on perks starting at $10 a month, reflecting savings of up to 40 percent off retail pricing. Customers can add or remove perks at any time, and can save an additional $15 a month by bundling mobile and home internet plans.
Verizon is the official telecommunications sponsor of FIFA’s World Cup men’s soccer tournament next year. Fox has the U.S. broadcast rights to the games, and will make live matches available on its broadcast network and FS1. Verizon customers using Fox One will be able to stream all tournament matches live.
