JioHotstar Replaces Hotstar in U.K., Canada, and Singapore — Sports Not Included

Reliance's JioHotstar goes international September 2, replacing Hotstar in the U.K., Canada, and Singapore with 160,000+ hours of content across 12 languages — but no live cricket or IPL at launch due to existing rights deals. The service targets a diaspora audience of over 4 million and is priced at £69.99 annually in the U.K. A U.S. launch is not part of this initial rollout.

"We see an opportunity to build for this broader, underserved global audience — not simply export an Indian streaming service to new markets." — Amit Malhotra, JioStar Head of International Business
