JioStar reported a revenue of Rs 8,010 crore in Q3 FY26 and Rs 26,464 crore for the nine-month period ended FY26, up from Rs 7,232 crore in Q2 FY26. Revenue from operations for Q3 FY26 stood at Rs 6,896 crore, compared with Rs 6,179 crore in the previous quarter. For the nine months from April 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025, operating revenue reached Rs 22,676 crore.

For FY25—which JioStar defines as the period from November 14, 2024, following the completion of the Disney Star-Reliance merger, to March 31, 2025—the company recorded gross revenue of Rs 11,032 crore.

JioStar’s profit after tax (PAT) was Rs 888 crore in Q3 FY26, down from Rs 1,322 crore in Q2 FY26. For the nine-month period ended December 31, 2025, PAT stood at Rs 2,791 crore.

Operationally, JioStar said its television network reached over 830 million viewers, delivering more than 60 billion hours of watch time during the quarter. Its streaming platform, JioHotstar, averaged 450 million monthly active users (MAUs), up 13% quarter-on-quarter and nearly matching the IPL-heavy Q1 FY26.

“JioHotstar delivered its highest-ever engagement in Q3 FY26 for entertainment content, driven by Bigg Boss across languages, blockbuster series launches, hit films such as Lokah and Mirai, and a sustained rise in international content consumption,” the company said.

Digital sports consumption also reached new highs, with average watch time per men’s ODI and T20 match increasing 55% during the year. The Women’s World Cup final drew 99 million digital viewers, matching IPL-scale viewership.

Overall subscriptions grew during the quarter, supported by strong acquisitions and stable subscriber retention. Growth was driven by a stacked content calendar across sports and entertainment, along with strategic product initiatives.

“JioStar properties delivered unmatched monetisation and engagement across digital and linear platforms, cementing our position as the definitive home of live sports in India,” the company added.
