Fox Corporation Internship 2027–2028: Programs, Deadlines & How to Apply

Last updated: August 2026

FOX Sports brands can reach more than 100 million viewers in a single weekend, and "America's Game of the Week" (NFL on FOX) has been the most-watched U.S. television program for 14 consecutive years. That is the scale a Fox Corporation intern plugs into on day one. Fox runs a structured, paid ($20/hour) internship program across FOX News Media, FOX Sports, FOX Entertainment, FOX Technology, and the Big Ten Network, in cities from New York to Los Angeles to Tempe. Here is exactly how the FOX Internship Program works for the 2027–2028 cycle, targeting a summer 2027 start, and how to break in.

Quick Facts

Fox Corporation runs a real, paid FOX Internship Program across three terms a year, with brand-specific tracks in news, sports, entertainment, and technology. Interns earn $20/hour (corporate roles up to $30/hour), the process runs on a pre-recorded video interview then a live hiring-manager round, and selection is rolling, so applying near the mid-September opening beats the January deadline.

Externships are short, remote projects where you finish real work for a real company. The TikTok Social Media Content & Brand Strategy Externship and the Beats by Dre Data Analytics Externship build the audience, content, and analytics evidence that FOX's cover-letter-driven, industry-knowledge-gated selection rewards.

What Is a Fox Corporation Internship?

A Fox Corporation internship is a paid, on-site placement inside one of America's largest broadcast media companies, and the first thing to get right is what Fox Corporation actually is. Fox Corp was created in March 2019 as a spin-off of 21st Century Fox's news, sports, and broadcast assets; in the same deal, the film and TV studio assets (20th Century Studios, FX Networks, National Geographic, and the Hulu stake) were sold to The Walt Disney Company. So a FOX internship is not a movie-studio internship. It sits inside Fox Entertainment (including Fox Broadcasting and the Tubi streaming group), Fox Television Stations, Fox News Media (Fox News and Fox Business), and Fox Sports Media Group (FS1, FS2, FOX Deportes, and the Big Ten Network JV). The company reported about $16.3 billion in revenue for FY2025 and employs roughly 10,400 people, led by CEO Lachlan Murdoch. The internship itself is a single umbrella FOX Internship Program with brand-specific tracks and more than 40 placement areas, paid at $20 per hour, running across seven U.S. cities. It is structured, competitive, and explicitly built as an early-career pipeline.

When Do Fox Corporation Internship Applications Open for 2027–2028?

Fox runs three intake terms a year, and the page title stays evergreen, but if you are targeting a summer 2027 internship the relevant window is the summer term: officially mid-September to mid-January. Based on the documented summer 2026 cycle (general deadline January 11, 2026; sessions running June 1 to August 7, 2026), applications for summer 2027 are expected to open around mid-September 2026 with a general deadline in early-to-mid January 2027. Every date below the first node is labeled expected because Fox had not published the 2027 calendar as of August 2026. Selection is rolling, so the practical timeline is earlier than these dates suggest.

Why You Must Apply the Week Applications Open

Fox states plainly that interns are accepted on a rolling basis for each term, with the Campus team and business managers identifying top students for placement before the deadline arrives. That means the general deadline is a backstop, not the real target. For summer 2027, the window is expected to open around mid-September 2026, and the strongest placements are claimed by candidates who apply in the first weeks, not the ones who wait until the early-January deadline. Applying early does three things: it puts your cover letter in front of business managers while the most desirable placements are still open, it gives you room to complete the pre-recorded video interview and the hiring-manager round before slots fill, and it signals the self-starter initiative FOX lists as a core intern trait. Treat the mid-September opening as your real deadline.

Which Fox Corporation Internship Programs Should You Target?

The FOX Internship Program is a single umbrella with brand-specific tracks, and where you land depends heavily on the interest areas you name in your cover letter. These are the main tracks and where they sit; within them, Fox lists more than 40 placement areas across Production, Editorial, Art & Design, Technology, Research & Analytics, Corporate, Communications, and Marketing.

Placement is not guaranteed to a specific department. Fox states you will be considered based on the content of your cover letter as well as your prior experience and interests, so name your top areas clearly. See live roles at foxcareers.com/internships.

What Are the Eligibility Requirements?

The eligibility bar is consistent across FOX News Media, FOX Sports, FOX Technology, and corporate postings. Here is what the official program page and the JDs require:

• Enrollment: Must be actively enrolled in an accredited college or university, pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree, for the full length of the program.

• Class standing: Sophomore (second-year) or above. First-year students are not eligible.

• Academic record: A strong academic record is expected (stated on the FOX Sports JD).

• Full-term availability: You must be committed and available to work the entire length of the program.

• Housing & transportation: You must have access to your own housing and transportation to the assigned site. No housing or relocation is provided.

• On-site: You must be able to work on-site at the assigned location. No remote intern track is advertised.

• Proof of enrollment: Accepted students provide an unofficial transcript or a registrar/adviser letter confirming enrollment.

Does Fox Corporation Hire First-Year Students or Remote Interns?

In three ways, there are hard gates. First, class standing: you must be a sophomore or above, so first-year students are not eligible. Second, location: every track is on-site at its assigned city with no remote option advertised, and Fox provides no housing or relocation, so out-of-market students must self-fund a commute and a place to live. Third, fit is gated on industry knowledge: candidates who advance must show knowledge of the company and the media or sports industry, so you should know current FOX programming and talent before you interview. One myth to drop: older Reddit posts claim most FOX internships are unpaid. That is outdated. Current programs are explicitly paid at $20 per hour.

What Skills Does Fox Corporation Look For, and How Do You Build Them?

FOX's intern job descriptions are remarkably consistent about what they screen for, and it is not a coding test. Across the four core JDs, one requirement appears in every single one: showed knowledge of and passion for FOX programming, talent, and the media or sports industry, which explicitly gates whether you advance. After that comes a stack of professional fundamentals: Microsoft Office fluency, strong written and verbal communication, attention to detail, comfort in a fast-paced deadline-driven environment, self-starter initiative, and teamwork. Technical software only matters on specific tracks: Production expects Adobe Premiere, Avid, iNews, or Final Cut Pro, while FOX Technology in Tempe expects Python, Java, SQL, Tableau, and R. The lesson is that industry fluency plus polished communication, evidenced in your cover letter, beats raw technical skill for most placements.

And every skill in that chart maps to a remote Externship where you finish a real project before applications even open.

How close is the overlap? The TikTok project produces the exact social-and-brand portfolio a FOX marketing or on-air promotions placement wants; the Beats consumer-behavior project builds the industry-and-audience fluency that gates advancement; and the Beats analytics project mirrors the insights work behind FOX's Research & Analytics tracks.

What Is the Fox Corporation Application and Interview Process Like?

Fox runs one application process across all brands. Here is the full path from posting to offer for the FOX Internship Program:

1. Go to the official careers site. Visit foxcareers.com/internships and filter Job Function = Internships to see open roles.

2. Pick your term and brand/location. Choose Summer (June–August), Fall (Sept–Nov), or Spring (Feb–April) and a city: New York, Los Angeles, Tempe, Chicago, Washington D.C., Charlotte, or Dallas.

3. Submit a one-page resume (PDF preferred).

4. Submit a cover letter (PDF preferred). Explain why your background fits and share your top areas of interest, because the cover letter drives your placement.

5. Indicate your office location of choice (required on the Technology track).

6. Complete a pre-recorded video interview if you advance, then a live hiring-manager interview. Show knowledge of FOX programming and the media or sports industry.

7. Provide proof of enrollment if accepted (an unofficial transcript or a registrar/adviser letter).

8. Apply early. Selection is rolling before the deadline, so submitting near the mid-September opening beats a January rush.

Two notes. There is no traditional coding or aptitude online assessment; the early screen is a pre-recorded, one-way video interview (HireVue-style) with preset questions, followed by a live hiring-manager round. And the timeline is uneven: one candidate heard back within a week of the hiring-manager interview, while others report weeks of silence between rounds, which is normal for a rolling process, so a polite follow-up is fair game.

What Students on Reddit Say

Six r/internships and r/resumes threads describe the FOX process first-hand. Three capture the consensus, all paraphrased.

How Do You Stand Out for a FOX Internship?

Four moves, all executable before applications open. First, write the cover letter as a placement tool, not a formality: Fox says you are considered based on its content, so name your top interest areas and connect them to specific FOX brands and shows. Second, arrive with industry knowledge, because advancing candidates must show familiarity with FOX programming, talent, and the media or sports business, so watch the current lineup and know who is on air. Third, bring track-specific proof: a social or content portfolio for marketing and promotions, editing reels for production, or Python, SQL, and Tableau work for the Tempe technology track. Fourth, apply in the first weeks after the mid-September opening, since selection is rolling and the best placements go early. And because every seat is on-site with no housing provided, sort out how you would live in your target city before you interview.

What Other Companies Should You Consider?

Fox Corporation competes in news, sports, and broadcast media. Remember that Fox Corp is not the old 21st Century Fox studio empire, which Disney acquired in 2019, so your peer list should be the other broadcast and cable media groups:

FAQ

Can I still apply for a summer 2026 Fox Corporation internship?

Not anymore. The summer 2026 general deadline was January 11, 2026, and those internships are already running (June–August 2026), so the window has closed. The Fall 2026 deadline (July 5, 2026) has also passed. Your next shot at a summer role is summer 2027, whose applications are expected to open around mid-September 2026 with a general deadline in early-to-mid January 2027 (expected).

Does Fox Corporation offer internships?

Yes. The FOX Internship Program runs three terms a year (Summer, Fall, Spring) across FOX News Media, FOX Sports, FOX Entertainment, FOX Technology, the Big Ten Network, and corporate functions, in cities including New York, Los Angeles, Tempe, Chicago, Washington D.C., Charlotte, and Dallas.

Is the FOX internship paid?

Yes. The standard program pays $20.00/hour, with a disclosed corporate range of $20.00–$30.00/hour. Housing and transportation are not provided. Older online claims that most FOX internships are unpaid are outdated; current programs are explicitly paid.

When do I apply for Summer 2027?

The summer window officially runs mid-September to mid-January. Expect applications to open around September 2026 with a general deadline in early-to-mid January 2027 (the summer 2026 deadline was January 11, 2026). Selection is rolling, so apply early rather than waiting for the deadline.

What are the eligibility requirements?

You must be actively enrolled in an accredited college or university (undergrad or grad) for the full program, at sophomore standing or above, with a strong academic record, available for the entire term, and with your own housing and transportation to the on-site location.

How long is the internship and how many hours?

Summer internships run 8 weeks at up to 40 hours per week (JDs list 32–40), June through August. Fall and Spring run 10 weeks at up to 24 hours per week (2–3 days). Summer 2026 ran two ~8-week sessions (June 1–July 24 and June 15–August 7); summer 2027 is expected to mirror this.

What is the interview process?

First a resume and cover letter (state your top interest areas), then a pre-recorded one-way video interview, then a live hiring-manager interview. You must show knowledge of FOX and the media or sports industry. Decisions can arrive within about a week of the hiring-manager round, though silence between rounds is common in a rolling process.

Is Fox Corporation the same as 21st Century Fox or the Disney studios?

No. Fox Corp was spun off from 21st Century Fox in March 2019. The film and TV studio assets (20th Century Fox/Studios, FX, National Geographic, and the Hulu stake) were sold to Disney; Fox Corp kept news (Fox News/Business), sports (FOX Sports), broadcast (Fox Broadcasting/Television Stations), and streaming (Tubi).

The FOX Internship Program is real, paid, and competitive, and it rewards applicants who show up with proof, not just interest. Spend the runway to mid-September building it: a remote Externship turns a passion for media into a finished content or analytics project you can point to in the cover letter that decides your placement.
