Fox Ad Revenue Surges 78% on World Cup and Tubi Growth

Fox Corporation reported a dramatic 78% surge in advertising revenue during the most recent quarter, fueled by two powerful engines: the global spectacle of the FIFA Men's World Cup and accelerating momentum at its ad-supported streaming service Tubi. The results underscore how live sports rights continue to command premium value in a fragmented media landscape.
The FIFA Men's World Cup served as the headline catalyst, drawing massive audiences to Fox's broadcast and cable properties.

Tubi, Fox's free ad-supported streaming service, added a second dimension to the revenue story.
