JioStar also delivered a strong financial performance in FY26. The company reported full-year revenue of ₹34,917 crore, EBITDA of ₹5,842 crore, and a net profit of ₹3,434 crore, demonstrating the strength of its content and distribution ecosystem.
Sports streaming continued to be a major growth driver. During the recent T20 World Cup, where India emerged victorious, JioHotstar recorded a world-record 72.5 million concurrent viewers in India. According to Ambani, nine of the ten highest global live-streaming concurrency records now belong to JioHotstar.
The platform’s success extended to cricket’s biggest domestic tournament as well. The IPL 2026 season attracted more than 700 million viewers on JioHotstar, further cementing its position as India’s preferred destination for live sports.
Meanwhile, JioHotstar recorded an average of 451 million Monthly Active Users (MAUs) during FY26, highlighting the platform’s massive scale and reach.
