Never Miss the Action: FOX One Brings Streaming Sports and More to Delta Sync

Staff Report From Georgia CEO

Thursday, April 30th, 2026

From buzzer beaters to breaking news, some moments are meant to be watched live. 

As Delta continues to expand the Delta Sync ecosystem, the airline is bringing more can’t-miss experiences on board — starting with a new FOX One partnership that delivers the world’s most-watched moments within reach at 35,000 feet.

FOX One brings together the full portfolio of FOX’s branded content — more than 5,000 hours of annual programming — with sports, news, weather and more. And this summer, in addition to hit series such as MasterchefThe Floor and the full slate of FOX News’ leading coverage, the streaming platform is home to the world’s most-watched sporting event, starting June 11.

From the premier match to the Final on July 19, soccer fans can follow every moment of the upcoming tournament on board Delta domestic flights through FOX One. 

“Live sports is one of the highest engagement categories for our customers in flight,” said Julieta McCurry, vice president – In-flight Entertainment and Connectivity. “It’s communal, and part of how they stay connected to moments that matter. Partnering with FOX One lets us bring more of those moments on board in a meaningful way.”

When the game’s on, customers tune in: Over the last year, Delta’s top 30 Live TV viewership days onboard coincided with marquee live sporting moments and high stakes competition days that draw appointment viewing.

“We strive to bring the best-in-class FOX programming to viewers when they want it and where they want it including thousands of feet in the air,” said Tony Billetter, SVP of Strategy and Business Development, Direct to Consumer, Fox Corporation. “What better way to kick off our partnership with Delta than by bringing this year’s most anticipated sporting event along with FOX’s leading news coverage and premium entertainment to their loyal travelers.” 

What to expect

Beginning this month, SkyMiles Members who log into Delta Sync Wi-Fi on domestic flights can access a 24-hour trial of FOX One via their personal device (no credit card required), letting customers log on, tune in and cheer on their favorite teams, both on board and beyond — ensuring they never miss the action.  

Want the best of both screens? Watch the game live on seatback via the live TV FOX channel while using FOX One on your phone or tablet for real-time stats, alternate angles and instant replays. Plus, the on-demand flexibility of FOX One allows you start a game from the beginning if you board in the middle of the action.

SkyMiles Members can access FOX One onboard multiple times per year and explore all it has to offer, including news, on-demand shows and entertainment and of course – sports.

The FOX One sports universe includes live games and events from NFL on FOX, MLB, NASCAR, IndyCar and college football (including the Big Ten), plus hit series such as DocMemory of a Killer and The Masked Singer, along with FOX News, America’s no. 1 news channel. 

 

Delta is adding and upgrading dozens of flights across September through November, connecting fans to marquee matchups like Clemson at LSU, Notre Dame/Wisconsin at Lambeau Field, Texas at Tennessee, Ohio State at Texas, USC at Florida, Alabama at LSU, and many more.
