Verizon offers several ways for households to combine home internet with television and entertainment services in 2026. Depending on location, customers may have access to Verizon Fios Internet and Fios TV, while other households can combine Verizon home internet with streaming television services.
Verizon's home entertainment offerings generally fall into several categories:
Verizon states that customers can customize Fios Internet and entertainment services rather than necessarily purchasing multiple traditional services together.
Fios combines Verizon's fiber-optic internet service with traditional live television packages.
Current Fios TV packages include different channel counts and features. Verizon's published lineup includes packages such as Fios TV Essentials, Your Fios TV, More Fios TV, and The Most Fios TV.
The exact package lineup and pricing can depend on the service address.
Verizon currently lists Fios TV Essentials with more than 125 channels.
The package includes networks such as:
Verizon also lists streaming access through compatible devices for eligible customers under the applicable promotional terms.
Your Fios TV provides more than 125 channels and allows customers to select five preferred channels from a larger group of networks.
Verizon states that the package can then recommend a television lineup based on those selections.
This type of package can be useful for households that want a more customized channel lineup rather than a very large traditional TV package.
More Fios TV is listed with more than 325 channels.
The package includes basic DVR service and streaming access under applicable promotional conditions.
The larger channel lineup may be relevant for households that watch a wider variety of entertainment, news, and specialty programming.
The Most Fios TV is Verizon's larger Fios TV package and is currently listed with more than 425 channels.
The package includes multi-room DVR service and premium entertainment services under the current package terms.
Because package prices and promotions can change, the service address should be checked before making a purchasing decision.
Verizon also currently lists a Fios TV Test Drive package.
It provides access to more than 425 channels for 60 days, after which Verizon says it can recommend a plan based on viewing history.
This can allow eligible customers to evaluate a larger channel lineup before settling on a longer-term television package.
For households primarily interested in local programming, Verizon lists Fios TV: Local.
The package currently includes 60 local channels, although channel availability depends on location.
Local-channel availability should always be verified using the address-specific Verizon channel lineup.
Traditional cable-style television is not the only way Verizon customers can access live entertainment.
Verizon also promotes streaming services through its home internet offerings.
Its Fios information states that customers can subscribe to YouTube TV through Fios, providing access to more than 70 channels, including local news and sports.
This approach allows households to combine a Verizon internet connection with a separate streaming television service.
Verizon's 2026 entertainment strategy also includes streaming-service perks.
Current Verizon information lists entertainment services such as:
Specific perks depend on the Verizon plan and applicable terms.
Some Verizon home internet plans allow customers to receive credits toward eligible entertainment perks.
Verizon also provides Mobile + Home benefits for qualifying customers who combine eligible mobile and home services.
Current Verizon information says eligible Fios customers purchased on or after September 3, 2026 may qualify for a $99 setup-fee waiver when enrolling in Mobile + Home at the point of sale, subject to the stated conditions. Certain higher-speed home internet plans can also qualify for a monthly perk credit of up to $10.
Eligibility and promotional conditions can change, so customers should check the current terms associated with the specific plan.
Verizon also offers 5G Home Internet, which uses Verizon's cellular network rather than a fiber connection.
The service is offered in different plan configurations, and availability depends on the service address. Verizon's current 2026 information lists plans with price-lock guarantees and entertainment-related perks for eligible customers.
A 5G Home Internet customer can also use compatible streaming services for television entertainment.
The two services use different network technologies.
Fios uses a fiber-optic network and can provide high-speed internet with strong upload performance. Verizon describes Fios as a 100% fiber-optic network.
5G Home Internet uses Verizon's cellular network.
Actual performance can vary according to factors affecting the cellular network, location, network conditions, and equipment.
Households should check which service is offered at the specific address.
Channel availability depends on the selected television package and location.
Verizon provides an online Fios channel lineup tool that allows customers to enter a ZIP code and compare available channels and packages.
This is particularly important because a channel listed on a general package page may not necessarily be offered in every service area.
Fios TV packages can include a set-top box depending on the package.
Verizon's current Fios TV listings show certain packages with one set-top box included. Some packages also include DVR functionality.
Equipment requirements can vary depending on the selected service and whether the customer is using Verizon's internet service.
Fios subscribers can access selected television content through compatible internet-connected devices.
Verizon states that Fios TV customers can watch selected live TV, shows, movies, and on-demand programming through supported devices.
This can include compatible smartphones, tablets, computers, Apple TV, and Amazon Fire TV devices depending on the service and content.
A household does not necessarily have to choose between traditional television and streaming.
Depending on the plan, customers can combine:
This allows households to structure entertainment services around the channels and streaming platforms they actually use.
There is no single nationwide price because Verizon pricing varies according to location, plan, promotions, taxes, equipment, and eligibility.
Verizon's current Fios TV listings show examples such as:
These are published Fios TV prices and do not necessarily represent the total monthly cost of internet plus television. Verizon notes that taxes, terms, availability, and other charges can vary.
Installation charges can also affect the overall cost.
Verizon's current Fios TV information states that a $99 professional setup charge may apply, although the fee may be waived for certain plans, locations, service combinations, or ordering methods.
Customers should review the final order summary before completing an order.
Equipment requirements can affect the monthly price.
Verizon states that a Verizon router is required for full Fios TV functionality. Depending on the arrangement, router costs may apply.
Customers should compare the complete monthly cost rather than looking only at the advertised television price.
Verizon periodically provides promotional offers to new and existing customers.
Current Fios offers can include:
Eligibility can depend on the account, location, selected service, and promotional period.
Verizon's Home Offers system allows eligible customers to view offers and redeem qualifying promotions through their My Verizon account.
Existing Verizon customers may have additional opportunities to modify their services.
Verizon states that eligible customers can find offers involving Fios internet upgrades, adding TV service, or combining mobile and home services.
Customers should check their My Verizon account because account-specific offers may differ from publicly advertised promotions.
Before selecting a plan, consider several factors.
Enter the service address rather than relying solely on ZIP-code-level information.
Consider the number of connected devices and activities such as:
Check whether the package includes the specific channels regularly watched.
Calculate whether included streaming perks could replace separate subscriptions.
Review router, set-top box, and DVR charges.
Check whether professional installation applies.
Determine how long promotional pricing or included services last.
Not every household needs a traditional TV package.
Internet-only service may be suitable for households that primarily use streaming platforms.
Verizon explicitly promotes internet-only plans for customers who do not need traditional television or phone services.
A household that watches local channels, sports, news, or traditional cable networks may prefer a Fios TV package if it is offered at the address.
