Six new episodes of The X-Files premiere this Sunday. The 2016 X-Files will air on Fox at 10:00 p.m., though coming after the NFC Championship Game the actual premiere time could be later. But maybe you’re one of those cord cutters cable companies and broadcast networks keep fretting about. Here’s how to watch The X-Files premiere without waving an antenna around.
Your best option is the Fox streaming service Fox Now, available for iOS, Android, Apple TV, Roku, XBox One and Amazon Fire TV, plus select Blu-ray player and Smart TV models.
‘The X-Files’ 2016 Trailer - The Investigation Continues
There is one major downside to streaming The X-Files: you won’t be able to watch it Sunday night. New episodes go up on the Fox streaming service the day after premiering on TV.
@k_pelicano To clarify, there aren't any episodes of X-Files currently available. They will be available for streaming the day after airing.
— FOX NOW (@FOXNOW) January 19, 2016Yeah, it sucks, but there’s some slim consolation. The first episode of The X-Files will be available commercial free, as long as you can stomach 30 seconds of Deadpool. It’d probably be best to mute in advance, so you don’t have to hear Ryan Reynolds say “chimichanga.”
New #XFiles Series will be presented commercial free on @foxnow for those who watch 30 second spot 30 second activity for @deadpoolmovie
