McRoberts was born in 1966 to a Ngāti Kahungunu father and Pākehā mother. The 2000 documentary White Sheep, written and produced by McRoberts, tells the story of Māori men like McRoberts' father who moved to Christchurch from Wairoa as teenagers in the 1950s and 1960s.
He attended Manning Intermediate and Hillmorton High School in Christchurch. He completed a journalism diploma from the New Zealand Broadcasting School at CPIT (now Ara Institute of Canterbury) in 1986.
McRoberts grew up unable to speak Māori, as detailed in the 2022 documentary Kia Ora, Good Evening.

He moved to rival network TV3 as a reporter in 2001 and began a presenting role the following year as host of 60 Minutes, which he held until 2012.
In March 2005 McRoberts and journalist Hilary Barry were appointed as newsreaders for the flagship 6pm bulletin then titled 3 News (later Newshub). He has continued to report for the network and has covered conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Gaza, East Timor and Solomon Islands as well as national disasters including the 2010 Haiti earthquake, the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami and the Canterbury earthquakes in 2010 and 2011.
In May 2012, McRoberts became the anchor of TV3's new current affairs show Three 60 focusing on international news, politics, and business. The show continued into 2013 but was eventually cancelled.
