Yes, you’ll be able to watch the Super Bowl on your Roku
Shortly after Roku warned its customers that Fox channels would stop streaming right before Super Bowl LIV, an updated agreement has kept the deal between the two companies going. What that means for Roku users is that the Super Bowl will once again be streaming.
Roku tweeted the update Friday night:
We are delighted that we reached an agreement with FOX to distribute FOX channels on the Roku platform.
Roku customers can stream the Super Bowl through FOX Now, Fox Sports and NFL in addition to other ways.
— Roku (@Roku) February 1, 2020
Roku, like AppleTV, allows users with cable or streaming subscriptions to access their favorite platforms through apps on the device. Not all TV platforms have a live viewing option, but Fox has had it for years and been a reliable streamer on a day like Super Bowl Sunday.
Mashable confirmed previously that Roku’s sudden announcement of losing Fox channels was the result of a rights dispute, so the good news is that it appears to have been resolved (despite some strong language) — at least long enough for the Chiefs and 49ers to duke it out on a national stage.
