Fox has agreed to acquire Roku in a $22 billion deal, a move that significantly strengthens its position in the highly competitive streaming industry, according to CNN.

The acquisition combines Fox’s portfolio of news, sports and entertainment content, including its free streaming service Tubi, with Roku’s platform and device ecosystem, which reaches roughly 100 million users.

The report said the deal comes as media companies race to scale their streaming operations amid intense competition from platforms such as Netflix, YouTube and Amazon.

According to the companies, the combined business will become the third-largest player in U.S. television by share of viewing, controlling more than 5% of total viewing time.

Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch described the transaction as a major strategic milestone, while Roku founder Anthony Wood said the partnership would help accelerate growth. Fox will pay $160 per share for Roku, representing a premium over its recent market price.

The deal is expected to close in the first half of 2027 and is projected to generate about $400 million in cost savings.
