Fox Corporation is introducing a new interactive experience on its Fox One streaming service that will combine live coverage of the November 3 midterm election with real-time voting results, polling information and analysis powered by artificial intelligence.
The features, developed in partnership with Fox News Media, will begin rolling out ahead of Election Day, with the full experience expected to be available when election coverage begins, the company announced on Wednesday.
“Election night is expected to be among the most demanding live events we cover. The results don’t arrive in order, and no two viewers are following the same set of races,” Amit Dudakia, the Senior Vice President and Head of Product at Fox Direct to Consumer, said in a prepared announcement.
The centerpiece of the new interactive experience is a feature called Command Center, which places live TV coverage from Fox News at the center of the screen, surrounded by interactive widgets displaying election results, polling information and analysis of key races. That information will update as results become available, allowing subscribers to follow election developments without interrupting the live broadcast or switching to another device.
Fox Television Stations are also contributing to the experience, with Fox-owned stations in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Tampa, Phoenix, San Francisco, Dallas, Houston, Milwaukee, Austin, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Orlando, Seattle and Washington, D.C. offering live, on-the-ground coverage of key local and state races. LiveNow from Fox, the free streaming news service operated by Fox Television Stations, will also be showcased during the network’s election night coverage.
News coverage from those stations and others will also be aggregated into a new portal called Election Hub, which Fox will promote as a one-stop shop for all types of election-related information.
Another feature, called Ask Fox, will receive a dedicated “Elections Mode” that allows subscribers to ask questions about election developments and receive responses based on current results and historical voting information. That function will use ElectionAI, an artificial intelligence platform developed internally by Fox News Media specifically for the 2026 election cycle. According to Fox, the system will provide sourced responses to questions about individual races, previous election results and comparisons with earlier election cycles. Relevant Fox News reporting and video will appear alongside the answers.
The system consolidates multiple election data sources into a real-time feed used across Fox One’s election interfaces. Fox said the underlying infrastructure also supports contextual information accompanying sports and news programming on the streaming service.
The launch of various election-related features within Fox One is meant to showcase the app as more than a destination for live programming across the company’s broadcast stations, local TV affiliates, cable networks and streaming channels. Instead, Command Center and the other interactive experiences demonstrate how the company is thinking beyond linear feeds to super-serve all kinds of users, including news fanatics.
Already, Fox One has showcased different technologies to provide amplified experiences to sports fans: During the FIFA World Cup tournament, the service launched multi-view screens offering differentiated, raw video feeds from additional cameras in addition to the network’s own broadcast feed of each game playing. Real-time sports scores are also baked into Fox’s broadcasts of soccer, football and baseball games.
Now, Fox is hoping to do to news what it already does to sports, and company executives are hoping the lessons learned from its election-focused Command Center will inform additional features for news, sports and entertainment down the road.
Fox is not the only company launching enhanced experiences: On Wednesday, DIRECTV said it will revive its election-related pop-up channel, called Election HQ, which will feature real-time data from the Associated Press alongside a multi-view of four cable news networks, including Fox News. The pop-up channel starts November 2.
Fox One is widely available on streaming platforms, sold directly by Fox for $20 per month and offered by other services like Roku’s Premium Subscriptions, Amazon’s Prime Video Channels and YouTube Primetime Channels. Fox One is also bundled with sister platform Fox Nation and ESPN Unlimited for additional fees. Cable and satellite subscribers with at least one Fox channel — broadcast station, affiliate or cable network — in their package have access to Fox One without any extra charge.
