Nearly all FOX shows—except sports events—are available to stream on-demand through Hulu the day after they run on broadcast TV, thanks to the shared ownership of Disney. If you can wait 24 hours (sometimes less) to watch the latest episode of 9-1-1: Lone Star, on-demand Hulu is a great option.
You can stream recent episodes of FOX shows at FOX.com, but you’ll need a cable, satellite, or live-TV-streaming provider login ID to access them. You can also watch FOX and several FOX-related channels live at FOX.com.
