Fox to Acquire Roku, Forming a $22B Streaming Powerhouse

Fox Corporation will acquire Roku in a cash-and-stock deal valued at about $22 billion, paying $160 per Roku share and creating a combined company with FOX’s live sports, news and Tubi content alongside Roku’s The Roku Channel and streaming platform. On a pro forma basis, the merged entity would be among the largest U.S. TV players by share of viewing, with FOX shareholders owning roughly 73% and Roku holders about 27%. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2027, funded by debt and cash, and is anticipated to yield about $400 million of run-rate cost synergies and accrete free cash flow by year two. Anthony Wood will join FOX’s board, and FOX emphasizes maintaining an open Roku platform and uninterrupted capital returns, though closing is subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals and other customary conditions.

Fox Bets Big on Streaming Front Door With $22B Roku Deal

Fox’s $22 billion acquisition of Roku marks a strategic pivot to a digital-first model, giving Fox access to Roku’s massive front-door real estate and streaming-data capabilities. The deal could amplify cross-promotion for Fox series, bolster its ad-revenue via the Roku home screen, and support its global distribution and Creator Studios efforts, while keeping The Roku Channel and Tubi largely separate for now. Wall Street remains skeptical about the merger’s potential, and Fox stock fell on the news, but executives view it as a transformative platform play that could reshape Fox’s content and advertising leverage as the deal closes next year.
