Latest News About New Channels On Roku

Here’s the latest about new Roku channels:

• In April 2026, Roku expanded its free live channels with a batch of 22 new channels added to The Roku Channel, boosting the lineup beyond 500 free channels. This expansion includes a mix of classic shows, family-friendly options, and niche sports, available on Roku devices and TVs with Roku. The update follows prior 2025 additions and demonstrates Roku’s ongoing FAST channel growth.[2][6]

• Earlier in 2026, several outlets highlighted Roku’s ongoing channel growth, noting that hundreds of free channels are now available through The Roku Channel, with frequent quarterly updates to the lineup. Reports also covered how these new channels span languages and genres, including international content.[3][4][2]

• For reference, Cord-Cutters News and other tech outlets often track Roku’s channel additions and publish full channel lists when new batches launch, so expect periodic updates (sometimes monthly or quarterly) as Roku inkles more channels into The Roku Channel.[5][2]

Illustration example: A simple snapshot of Roku channel growth over 2025–2026 shows a steady monthly increase in free channels, rising from roughly 500+ to over 520–560+ channels after multiple updates.
