How to fix Fox Sports error 403?
Here are six fixes you can try out.
Restart your router
Power cycling your network equipment is the fix to more issues than you can think. More often than not, connectivity issues can be caused by an underlying bug in your router and can be fixed by rebooting.
Disable VPN
Another possible cause for the issue could be that you’re using a VPN. Many streaming services are geo-restricted due to content copyright issues, and using a VPN can cause problems with their functionality and content availability causing the error.
Check for server issues
Next up, check to see if Fox Sports servers are online. Streaming services can often go down under heavy loads during a new release or a live event. You can use sites like Downdetector or Updownradar to check Fox Sports’ server status and see if there are any issues from their end.

Reinstall Fox Sports
If updating didn’t fix your problem, a clean reinstall most likely will. Reinstalling an app gets rid of any corrupt data or files that might be causing issues with connectivity or functioning.
