Roku launched FOX One as a premium subscription service on the Roku Channel for $19.99 per month, giving subscribers live and on-demand access to all 104 FIFA World Cup 2026 matches, along with FOX News, entertainment and NFL and MLB coverage. The Roku FOX One FIFA World Cup streaming deal lets customers subscribe directly through their Roku account with a single login across Roku devices, the mobile app and the web.
FOX One content will also appear in Roku Sports Zone and the dedicated Soccer Zone, making live sports discovery easier across the platform.
Roku shows how integrating a subscription directly into its Premium Subscriptions hub can reduce friction between wanting to watch and actually watching, without app-switching or separate account setup.
