Netflix will start streaming video podcasts from Spotify Studios and The Ringer in early 2026.
The two companies announced their new partnership on Tuesday (October 14), three months after reports emerged of partnership discussions between the streaming platforms.
The Wall Street Journal reported in July, citing people close to the conversations, that Netflix and Spotify held talks about collaborating on music-focused projects such as a music awards show, a live concert series, celebrity interviews, as well as documentary projects with shorter turnarounds to remain relevant. The two companies have now announced that the partnership will initially launch in the US in early 2026 before expanding to more markets. Netflix subscribers will gain access to sports, culture, lifestyle and true crime video podcasts that currently stream on Spotify’s platform
