World Cup Drove 2.8 Million Sign-Ups To Fox One Streamer

The recent World Cup significantly boosted subscriber numbers for the streaming service Fox One, with 2.8 million new sign-ups recorded in June.

The data from Antenna indicates a substantial increase in user acquisition attributed to the tournament's popularity.
