Let $E$ be a finite galois extension of $F$. The intermediate fields are in one-to-one correspondence with the subgroups of $Gal(E/F)$ by the fundamental theorem. This group has finite order and therefore finitely many subgroups as it has finitely many subsets so that the number of intermediate fields is finite.
