Spotify signs new multi-year deal with Joe Rogan worth roughly $250 million
Spotify has renewed its contract with Joe Rogan, extending the partnership for several more years in a deal valued at about $250 million.
Spotify announced a renewed licensing contract with Joe Rogan, securing the continuation of The Joe Rogan Experience for several additional years. Valued at approximately $250 million, the multi-year agreement ensures that fresh episodes will be available on Spotify and syndicated to other podcast platforms each week. This renewal expands on the original exclusive streaming deal signed in 2020 and the 2024 amendment that permitted the show’s distribution on services like YouTube and Apple Podcasts.
The partnership has persisted despite criticism of Rogan’s content, and the program continues to be the platform’s most-listened-to podcast worldwide. During the 2024 election cycle, the show hosted political figures including Donald Trump and JD Vance. Spotify highlighted the program’s global audience and its signature long-form conversational format as central to its strategy.
Why it matters
The deal keeps Spotify’s flagship podcast on its platform, reinforcing its position in the competitive streaming market.
