If sports streaming services are out of your budget, Roku is launching a dedicated Roku Sports Channel for all its devices, apps, and website on Aug 12.

The free, ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channel will feature all the sports content Roku currently owns and licenses. That includes live telecasts of Major League Baseball games and Formula E races, a host of shows such as MLB Sunday Leadoff, The Rich Eisen Show, GFMB: Overtime, and WWE: Next Gen, and some sports-themed Roku Original documentaries.

"Sports is one of our most popular channel genres on The Roku Channel, which makes us so excited to make it even easier for audiences to jump into Roku's standout programming," says Joe Franzetta, head of Roku's sports division.

Upcoming content includes NBA G-League games and an original WNBA documentary called Renee Montgomery: A Radical Act.
