The Roku Channel is Roku’s own streaming channel dedicated to delivering free (ad-supported) TV, movies, sports, and news to anyone with a Roku account.
After a free registration, you can watch The Roku Channel on almost any device. A wide selection of on-demand and live content is available at no extra cost.
Watch free live news, sports, and entertainment
Roku
A small selection of live news, sports, and entertainment channels are among the free content available on The Roku Channel. News from ABC News, Newsy, and a few others stream live as it’s broadcasted. Sports are streamed live on Stadium and a few other channels.
Watch more free content for ‘National Streaming Week’
Roku
From May 13 through May 20, the Roku Channel is running a promotion called "National Streaming Week." Over the course of the week, Roku will be featuring free content from premium channels like HBO, Showtime, and Cinemax, along with exclusive cable shows that aren’t yet available on other streaming platforms.
Alongside this promotion, Roku is also running a giveaway for a Roku TV and wireless speakers, and offering a sale on many Roku models.
This will all be capped off at the end of May by the launch of Stingray, a free (ad-supported) Roku Channel-based service for streaming music videos.
Access premium channels
HBO
The Roku Channel offers a wide range of content. You can subscribe to premium channels now too. They offer HBO, Showtime, Starz, Epix, and Cinemax subscriptions in one service. The pricing is nearly identical to competing streaming-only services and standalone subscriptions, but you pay only one bill.
The Roku Channel is free, so the premium channels alone are what you pay for, instead of a monthly access fee plus premium channel subscriptions as with other streaming providers (and traditional cable/satellite).
