If you’ve been a Roku subscriber and have been longing for more sports content via a dedicated channel, you’ll be pleased to know that things are about to change for the better soon. Starting on August 12, subscribers will be able to access a new Roku Sports Channel that streams sports-based content 24/7. So, if you’re looking for a break from streaming TV shows and movies, Roku’s Sports Channel might be just what you need.
A recent press release from Roku mentioned that the channel is free to access but will be ad-supported. The channel will include content across various sports, including live Major League Baseball (MLB) games, Formula E races, and Roku Originals that are specifically sports-themed.

You’ll also get to see exclusive partner content, which includes boxing matches from Top Rank and poker games from PokerGo, to name a few. While these are only a few of the shows planned for now, Roku says it will continue to expand its streaming content with new shows.
