Roku Quietly Adds 13 Free Channels for Customers

Roku has been building out its free channel offerings throughout 2026, giving customers a wider range of content to choose from. All cost-free programming can be found at The Roku Channel on Roku TVs and Roku streaming players.

To finish September, Roku has added 13 new free channels to its lineup, according to Cord Cutters News.

What’s new on Roku?

The newest Roku additions include channels based around popular sitcoms (Scrubs and Blackish), multiple Spanish language offerings, content creator showcases and more.

“The expansion continues a broader free-content strategy that has added dozens of live channels across 2025 and 2026, covering sitcoms, reality, sports, Spanish-language entertainment, studio catalogs, and niche genre feeds,” writes Cord Cutters’ Luke Bouma.

Here is a full list of the 13 new channels:

• Sam X Colby
• Filmrise Iron Chef
• Fresh Boart
• Scrubs
• Blackish
• Filmrise ZNatin
• Cheaters EnSpanol
• Filmrise Andromeda
• Garfield ESpanol
• Midsomer
• Iron Chef EnSpanol
• Ryan Trahan
• Paranormal Chronicles

What’s next for Roku?

This round of expansion piggybacks off the more than one dozen channels that were added in August. Each month of 2026, Roku has been bringing customers double-digit new free offerings.

“Keep an eye on Roku and The Roku Channel,” Bouma said earlier this year. “They are, according to Nielsen, now the largest, most-watched free, ad-supported streaming service, with Tubi and Pluto TV coming in second and third. Keep an eye on the growth there.”
