The NWSL adds Roku as a new media partner, shifting its Sunday night match coverage starting immediately after its prior arrangement ends. Multiple outlets report that Roku will stream eight NWSL games on Sunday nights for the remainder of the 2026 season, making them available through Roku’s platforms.
Roku’s role expands beyond 2026. Yahoo Sports reports that the Roku Sports Channel will replace Victory+ as the league’s fifth separate broadcast partner and will remain in place through the 2027 season. The Athletic and Engadget add that the plan includes scaling from eight games in 2026 to a larger slate in 2027, with The Athletic specifying growth to 25 matches.
Outlets also differ slightly in where viewers can access the games: Engadget and The Athletic describe availability via free Roku channels, while Yahoo Sports emphasizes distribution through the Roku Sports Channel. Overall, all sources describe the same shift away from Victory+ and a longer-term partnership centered on Sunday night broadcasts.
