YouTube TV averts Fox blackout with last-minute deal, keeping OSU–Texas on Fox Sports
Minutes before a deadline, YouTube TV and Fox agreed to a short-term extension that keeps Fox channels on the service, including the Ohio State–Texas game. The contract had been set to expire at 5 PM ET on Aug. 27, 2025. Talks continue over pricing, with both sides accusing the other of overreach. A blackout would have hit Fox Sports, Fox News, Fox Business, and local affiliates during football kickoff.
