  • Roku has launched a dedicated Soccer Zone with aggregate coverage of the FIFA World Cup tournament.
  • The Soccer Zone includes access to live matches played on Fox One and Peacock (Telemundo), in addition to clips, match stats and other data.
  • Roku is also launching a special bundle that pairs a Roku Streaming Stick Plus with 30 days of free access to Fox One for $25.

Roku is gearing up for the FIFA World Cup men’s soccer tournament by launching a new portal on its smart TVs and streaming devices that aggregates live streams, clips and data from the sport.

The new Soccer Zone is rolling out to Roku devices this week, offering a real-time stats tracker for the FIFA World Cup tournament, live scores from soccer events and a dedicated favorites list so fans can follow their preferred teams and clubs.

The Soccer Zone will also aggregate content from other events, in addition to free streaming content from channels like FIFA Plus and Fox Sports, Roku said in a statement.

For the FIFA World Cup tournament, the Sports Zone will aggregate live matches and related content from Fox One and Comcast’s Peacock, the company said. Fox Sports is the exclusive English-language broadcaster of the event in the United States, with all games streamed via the Fox One app; Comcast’s Telemundo has the exclusive Spanish-language rights, with all games streamed in Spanish via Peacock.

In addition to the Sports Zone, Roku said it is partnering with Fox to offer a bundled package that pairs a Roku Streaming Stick Plus with one month of free access to Fox One — which is almost long enough to watch the entire tournament at no extra cost. The bundle is available only on the Roku website for a one-time payment of $25. After 30 days, access to Fox One costs $20 per month or $200 per year and includes the full suite of Fox broadcast channels, cable networks and streaming feeds. On its own, the Roku Streaming Stick Plus retails for $40.

The FIFA World Cup men’s soccer tournament starts on June 11.

The Soccer Zone is the latest sports-focused portal launched by Roku in recent years in an effort to eliminate confusion among streamers who want to watch their favorite teams and games at a time when those events are split across various apps.

Two years ago, Roku launched the NFL Zone with aggregated access to games offered by Paramount Plus (CBS), Peacock (NBC) and ESPN Plus, in addition to streaming pay TV services like DIRECTV, Fubo and YouTube TV. The portal has refreshed over time to support Fox One, the new ESPN Unlimited plan and other services that carry live NFL games.

Earlier this year, Roku rolled out a dedicated Winter Olympic Games portal with content from NBC and Telemundo during the 2026 Winter Games from Milan and Cortina. The portal included a real-time medal count sponsored by Delta Air Lines, access to live games and replays from Peacock, clips from different events and related content.

Roku’s smart TVs and streaming devices are available to purchase at Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy and other retailers.
