Congressional Democrats have voiced antitrust concerns regarding Fox Corporation's proposed acquisition of Roku, arguing that removing a major competitor from the streaming market would diminish consumer choice and grant the combined entity significant pricing power. The lawmakers worry specifically that the merger would allow Fox to steer viewers toward its own content across Roku's substantial user base, disadvantaging competing services and limiting viewer options.

The $22 billion deal was announced in June 2026 as Fox's effort to strengthen its position in ad-supported streaming, building on its prior acquisition of Tubi. Fox and Roku stated in response that they remain committed to operating Roku as an open platform serving multiple content partners equitably. The Democratic lawmakers have asked the Justice Department to ensure its review of the transaction proceeds impartially and free from political considerations.
