How to watch JioHotstar with Proton VPN
JioHotstar is an Indian streaming service that’s the result of a merger of Disney+ Hotstar and JioCinema. Launched in February 14, 2025, JioHotstar combines the extensive content libraries of both platforms, offering a wide range of entertainment options.
The merger combines Disney+ Hotstar’s portfolio — which includes Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic content, along with local Indian programming and sports coverage — with JioCinema’s catalog, which is known for its major sporting events and extensive catalog of films and web series. The result is an impressively comprehensive streaming experience that encompasses international blockbusters, regional films, popular TV shows, and live sports events.
JioHotstar offers content that’s free to watch with no account needed, content that’s free to watch but requires you to sign up for an account, and premium content that requires a paid subscription.
You can use Proton VPN to unblock other popular streaming services as well, including Netflix, Disney+, Sun NXT, and aha.
