The Sky Go streaming application is currently not available for Roku devices. The only possible way to access it on your Roku is by screen mirroring it from the smartphone or PC.
When it comes to compatibility, the Sky Go app supports only a limited number of devices. The developers are working to include support for more devices. Recently, they have launched the dedicated Sky Go app on Apple TV and PS5 devices. So, we can expect the dedicated Sky Go app on the Roku streaming players very soon.
