The viewing area includes Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and Mississippi. It is, by far, the largest FSN network by area and viewership. As such, the feed is often broken down into several sub-regional feeds for the purposes of adhering to the "home turf" rules belonging to the region's professional sports franchises (i.e., Memphis Grizzlies games and Nashville Predators games are only seen in Tennessee, most of Kentucky, northern Mississippi, and northern Alabama, while Carolina Hurricanes games are only seen in the Carolinas. Neither are seen in the remaining portions of FSN South's coverage area).

FSN South formerly produced the Southern Sports Report in their Midtown Atlanta studios, when the "regional sports reports" were a prime focus of the collective FSN networks. Other FSN networks also received their local sports reports from the Atlanta studios, often with the same hosts (Terry Chick being the most prominent). The Southern Sports Report was discontinued in 2005, and FSN South produced a similar program, Around The South, that focuses on sports stories in and across the region. It has been replaced by FSN Final Score.
