Fox News delivered a record-setting 1.5 billion YouTube video views in the first quarter of 2026, outpacing every rival in the news landscape by a staggering margin.
According to data from Emplifi, Fox News beat its closest competitor, MS NOW, by half a million views. MS NOW tallied 974 million views for the first quarter. Fox News doubled CNN’s 707 million views.
To put the dominance in perspective, Fox News surpassed the combined totals of ABC News (440 million), NBC News (364 million), and CBS News (194 million). The three legacy broadcast networks—despite their notable brand recognition—couldn’t keep pace.
It marked the sixth consecutive quarter Fox News has topped all news brands on YouTube.
Year-over-year, Fox News grew 21% on YouTube and surged 51% quarter-over-quarter.
The March numbers are particularly telling. Fox News’ coverage of the ongoing war in Iran drove its highest-rated month ever on YouTube with 621 million views. In March, Fox News more than doubled CNN (265 million) and nearly quadrupled CBS News (73 million).
Fox Business, meanwhile, posted 193 million video views in the first quarter, a 25% jump from the prior quarter. The network extended its streak as the No. 1 business channel on YouTube for the 52nd consecutive month.
Dominance Across Platforms
Fox News’ performance across social media platforms mirrors its success on YouTube.
The network ranked first in social engagement on Facebook, Instagram, X, and TikTok in the first quarter, accumulating 426 million interactions. Facebook interactions were up 52% compared to 2025. TikTok interactions climbed 35%.
The massive numbers are yet another indication that audiences trust Fox News to cover the news that matters most—regardless of where they’re watching or reading. They also tell a story you likely won’t hear from legacy media: Fox News is winning, and it’s not even close.
