Super plan (with ads):
Rs 299 for 3 months or Rs 899 for a year.

Live Sports for Free:
Live sports content, including Cricket, Tennis grand slams, and Premier Leagues, will be available for free on JioHotstar without requiring a subscription.

The platform aims to offer fans both "lean in" and "lean back" experiences, catering to diverse sports interests, from Cricket to grassroots-level competitions.
