How to Activate Bally Sports on Roku: Step-by-Step Guide

To activate Bally Sports (formerly Fox Sports Networks) on Roku, you must either use your TV/cable provider credentials or a Bally Sports Plus account (also referred to as Stand Alone service). However, the activation process on Roku can be complex as it is influenced by various factors such as your internet service provider (ISP), TV/cable/satellite provider, Roku device, and the Bally Sports app itself. Any discrepancy among these components may result in activation failure.

Although this guide specifically mentions Roku, you can apply the same methods to activate the app on various devices, including:

• Streaming sticks (Amazon Fire Stick, Google Chromecast, etc.)
• TVs (Samsung, Android, Apple)
• Consoles (Xbox, PS4, or PS5)
• PCs (Windows, Mac, etc.)
• Phones (Android, iOS)

1. Launch a web browser on a PC or phone and navigate to the Bally Sports Sign-in page.
2. Sign in to the website and keep the window open.

   

3. Open the Bally Sports app on your Roku and select Sign in.
4. Enter your Bally Sports Plus credentials to log into the app.
5. Once the code appears on the screen, visit the Bally Sports Account page on the previously signed-in web browser.
6. Enter the code displayed on the Roku device and click ‘Activate’.

To activate Bally Sports using credentials from TV, satellite, or cable providers (such as DirecTV), or if you are borrowing credentials from a friend or family member, follow these steps:
