Getting the Sportsnet app on your Roku TV allows you to stream a wide variety of live sports, including NHL games, MLB, NBA, and more, directly on your television. While there is no dedicated Sportsnet app currently available in the Roku Channel Store in all regions, there are effective workarounds to access Sportsnet content, primarily by using the credentials from your TV provider or through other streaming services that offer Sportsnet as an add-on watch.sportsnet.ca/activate.
Adding and Activating Apps on Roku
The first step for any streaming service on Roku is to add the channel (app) to your device. The general process is straightforward.
- Press the Home button on your Roku remote.
- Navigate to Streaming Channels and select it to enter the Roku Channel Store.
- Go to Search Channels and type in the name of the app you’re looking for.
- Once you find the app, select it and choose Add Channel.
Since a standalone Sportsnet app may not be available, you would search for your TV provider’s app (like the Spectrum app, if applicable) or another service like Prime Video.
Activating Sportsnet Through a TV Provider’s App
If you receive Sportsnet as part of your cable or satellite package, you can often access the content by logging into your provider’s dedicated Roku app.
- Download your TV provider’s official app from the Roku Channel Store.
- Launch the app and look for a sign-in option.
- You will likely be prompted to go to a specific URL on a separate device (like a computer or smartphone) and enter an activation code displayed on your TV screen.
- On the activation website, you’ll need to sign in with the username and password associated with your TV provider account.
- After successfully logging in, your Roku app will refresh, giving you access to the channels included in your subscription, such as Sportsnet.
Using the Sportsnet Add-on for Prime Video
Another excellent method to get Sportsnet on your Roku TV is through Amazon Prime Video, which offers Sportsnet as a channel add-on.
- First, ensure you have the Prime Video app installed on your Roku TV and that you are an Amazon Prime member.
- Using a web browser, subscribe to the Sportsnet add-on through the Prime Video website.
- Once subscribed, open the Prime Video app on your Roku TV.
- You can find the live Sportsnet channels (Sportsnet, Sportsnet ONE, Sportsnet 360) within the “Live TV” or “Channels” section of the Prime Video app.
- This method allows you to watch live games and events broadcast on those channels directly through the Prime Video interface, with the billing handled by your Amazon account.
This is a separate subscription from a Sportsnet+ account and cannot be accessed using Sportsnet+ credentials.

Other Potential Methods
For subscribers of the direct-to-consumer Sportsnet+ service, the official list of supported connected devices includes Apple TV, Chromecast, Xbox, PlayStation, Amazon Fire TV, and Android TV. While Roku is not officially listed, users can still try casting from the Sportsnet mobile app on their smartphone or tablet to their Roku device if both are on the same Wi-Fi network. However, direct app integration through the methods above typically provides a more stable and user-friendly experience.
