The Roku Channel offers an interesting lineup of live sports, including some MLB games.

As one of the first prominent free, ad-supported streaming services, The Roku Channel has had to continue evolving throughout the course of its life to stay relevant. Over the years, The Roku Channel has added a large selection of original content to go alongside its lineup of free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channels.

In addition to those originals, The Roku Channel has also imported an inventory of live sports to its airwaves. As with the other Roku Channel programming, these sports events are free to watch, but what specific live events are available on the streamer? We’ll answer that for curious readers here.

What live sports are available on The Roku Channel?

What live sports are shown on The Roku Channel in 2026?

There’s a pretty fun lineup of live sports available on The Roku Channel, but the streamer lost one of its biggest sports properties in 2026. The MLB Sunday Leadoff package is headed back to NBC and Peacock this year, after spending two seasons on The Roku Channel.

In 2024, The Roku Channel picked up the rights to stream more than 40 NBA G League games per season on its NBA Channel.

In 2025, Roku made a deal with Bassmaster to stream select coverage of all Bassmaster Elite Series events, five Bassmaster Open Series events, qualifiers, and more.

Also in 2025, Roku struck a deal with the Pro Volleyball Federation to stream 20 of that body’s matches free every season.

The first live sports deal ever made by Roku was for a selection of 11 Formula E races, which the streamer agreed to begin offering in 2023.

The final two events found on The Roku Channel include coverage of X Games events like X Games Aspen, as well as the WCK Muay Thai 35th anniversary event in 2024.

Will Roku Channel add more sports in the future?

Normally, the business model of a free streaming service precludes the addition of big-name live sports. But Roku Channel pulls in revenue from multiple sources, and I expect it to continue making modest pursuits of live sports in the future. I don’t think Roku will be making a serious play for an NFL package any time soon, but more additions like the Pro Volleyball Federation and the NBA G League could continue to make their way to The Roku Channel.

Does Roku offer sports-themed channels?

Yes — in fact, Roku has its own proprietary sports FAST channel named Roku Sports, which launched last summer. In addition, viewers can find FAST channels from the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB on the service, as well as the Fubo Sports Network, T2 from the Tennis channel, FIFA+, and more.

Does Roku have any sports content in 4K?

No, The Roku Channel does not offer any of its sports content in Ultra-High-Definition 4K.
