FS2 (Fox Sports 2) is on channel 618 on DIRECTV in most lineups, with HD often mapped to the same number if you have an HD receiver.

Quick Scoop: FS2 on DIRECTV

  • FS2 standard definition: channel 618 on DIRECTV.
  • Many guides list FS2 HD as part of the same channel slot (sometimes referenced as 1618 in technical lineups, but your on‑screen guide will just show 618 if HD is enabled).
  • FS1, its sister channel, is on 219, which helps if you’re browsing near the main Fox Sports block.

If you tune to 618 and don’t see FS2, it usually means your current DIRECTV package doesn’t include it, or your local/channel map is slightly different.

Why you might not see it

Even though FS2 is generally on 618 nationwide, a few things can trip people up:

  1. Package limits
    • FS2 is often included starting at mid‑tier sports or Choice/Xtra‑style packages, or via a sports add‑on.
 * If you only see FS1 but not FS2, your plan may not carry FS2; customer support or your account channel list will confirm this.
  1. Local or lineup changes
    • DIRECTV can reshuffle or remap channels during lineup updates, though 618 for FS2 has been very stable in recent years.
 * A quick check of the on‑screen guide by typing “FS2” in search is the fastest way to confirm your current slot.
