How many subscribers do top streamers have?

Our experts are tracking the number of subscribers every top streamer lays claim to in the United States. Although raw subscriber numbers aren’t quite the yardstick of streaming success that they used to be, they’re still useful for gauging the relative success of platforms. Subscriber data for streaming services can give audiences and analysts an easy way to measure a streamer’s popularity, and big changes from quarter to quarter can portend either success or failure ahead for a given service. Unfortunately, as of 2026, so few streaming services offer regular public updates on their subscriber numbers, leaving analysts to assemble the data as best we can. With that in mind, The Streamable has put together the subscription totals of every major streaming service in the United States, as well as their key revenue statistics. With this data, viewers will be able to get a brief look at each streamer’s health at a glance and see which services have the high ground in subscribers, and which claim the biggest profit margins.

Streaming Service Subscriber total North American subscribers Most recent update Netflix 325 million At least 89.63 million Q4 2025 Disney+ , Hulu , and ESPN Select 219.8 million 109 million (not accounting for bundle overlap) Fiscal Q4 2025 Apple TV ~45 million (Estimate) N/A Q1 2025 HBO Max , discovery+ 140 million N/A Q1 2026 Paramount+ 81.6 million N/A Q2 2026 Peacock 48 million 41 million Q2 2026 Prime Video 200 million+ N/A April 2024 It’s important to note a few things when looking at these numbers. First, Warner Bros. Discovery doesn’t break out its streaming subscriber numbers by service, so its total includes HBO Max and discovery+ — though it’s fair to assume that most of those customers are on the former service. WBD also doesn’t give details on which subscribers are where in the world, nor does Paramount+. Paramount has begun merging all of its entertainment streaming numbers onto a single platform, consolidating its numbers. Neither Apple TV nor Prime Video reveals subscriber totals for their streaming services publicly on a regular basis. Apple has never given this information, and Prime Video last unveiled its subscriber total of 200 million in 2024, but those totals include every Amazon Prime subscriber, whether they use Prime Video or not, since the streamer is included as a benefit.
