Overview

JioHotstar, an Indian streaming platform, has initiated a series of international expansions through strategic partnerships.

In October 2026, the company entered the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region by partnering with STARZPLAY. This expansion allows users to access JioHotstar Originals, television content, and reality franchises via the STARZPLAY app and website, with audio tracks available in up to 10 languages.
