Roku Adds 50+ New Free Live Channels — Full Lineup and How to Start Watching

Roku just expanded its FAST lineup again, rolling out four new free live channels on June 1 that are already appearing inside the Live TV Guide on Roku TVs and streaming players. What’s new today • FIFA Plus Women (channel 5243) – nonstop highlights, full-match replays and original series dedicated to women’s soccer. • Sports Illustrated (channel 227) – 24/7 breaking news, analysis and classic features from the iconic sports brand. • Stingray Hooked (channel 5306) – global angling action, gear tips and scenic fishing expeditions. • FIFA Plus Español (channel 929) – Spanish-language feed packed with women’s tournaments and international soccer content. All four feeds slot straight into The Roku Channel’s 500-plus-channel grid, so you can bookmark them or jump in via the channel numbers above. Because they’re part of Roku’s free ad-supported streaming TV tier, no subscription or sign-in is required—just launch The Roku Channel and hit the Live TV tab. Why this matters Roku’s steady cadence of FAST launches keeps its platform sticky at a time when cord-cutters are hunting for no-cost programming. The June drop follows a much larger April update that delivered 22 free channels—everything from “The Hunger Games 4-Film Collection” to MotoGP racing and Scripps Sports Network—underscoring Roku’s plan to cover every niche without charging a dime. Key takeaways for viewers • Sports surge: By adding dual FIFA feeds plus Sports Illustrated, Roku is leaning hard into live and shoulder sports coverage just as summer tournaments heat up. • Bilingual growth: FIFA Plus Español continues Roku’s push to serve Spanish-speaking households with first-run events and analysis. • Discovery made easy: Each new channel carries its own EPG slot; use voice search (“FIFA Plus” or “Sports Illustrated”) or scroll through the Live TV Guide’s “Recently Added” row to tune in instantly. • Cost control: All FAST channels stream in HD with limited ad breaks, giving cord-cutters more premium content without piling on monthly fees. What’s next Roku rarely announces FAST additions far in advance, so expect more stealth channel drops throughout the summer. To stay ahead, refresh the Live TV Guide periodically and watch for fresh tiles in the “New & Notable” carousel. If prior updates are any clue, the next wave could bundle classic TV marathons with pop-culture or international sports feeds—further cementing Roku’s spot as one of the largest free live-TV hubs in the U.S. Bottom line Whether you’re chasing every goal of the women’s game, craving 24/7 sports commentary or just want tranquil fishing footage in the background, Roku’s newest free live channels deliver—and they’re live on your home screen today.
