Joe Rogan renews Spotify deal on terms matching his previous $250M agreement

Joe Rogan has extended his partnership with Spotify through a new multi-year licensing agreement, with financial terms the company declined to disclose. The Wall Street Journal reported that the deal carries terms similar to Rogan’s previous contract, which had an estimated potential payout of $250 million.

Spotify announced the agreement on Thursday, confirming that new episodes of ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ will continue to be released weekly on Spotify and other platforms. The renewed deal builds on a relationship that dates back to 2020, when Rogan first signed with the platform in a deal reportedly worth more than $100 million.

“The partnership with Spotify has been an amazing fit, and they’re incredible to work with,” Rogan said. “I’m extremely happy and excited to continue with them for years to come.”

The podcast has accumulated more than 18 million followers on Spotify, making it the platform’s most-followed show. Spotify also described it as the top podcast across major platforms in 2025.

Rogan has been a prominent figure in combat sports media for decades, serving as a long-standing commentator for the UFC. His podcast frequently features fighters, coaches, and figures from across the MMA world, giving the renewal added significance for the sport’s broader media landscape.
