Netflix dominates paid TV streaming, and now it’s coming for podcasts next. Netflix and Spotify have announced a new partnership that will bring a variety of Spotify’s video podcasts to Netflix.
Netflix is getting a curated selection of Spotify video podcasts soon
From Netflix’s press release:
In a new wide-ranging deal, video for The Bill Simmons Podcast as well as The Ringer’s NFL, NBA, Fantasy Football, and F1 shows will live on Spotify and Netflix. But these sports titles are just the start: Pop culture series like The Rewatchables and Dissect, as well as true crime pods such as Conspiracy Theories, are also part of this pact. (You can find the full list below.) The video podcasts will be available in the US in early 2026, with other markets to follow. […] “This partnership marks a new chapter for podcasting,” said Roman Wasenmüller, VP, Head of Podcasts at Spotify.

Video podcasts have grown tremendously in popularity over the past few years, with YouTube being one of the major beneficiaries of the trend.
Netflix clearly doesn’t want to cede that space to YouTube, nor does Spotify, and this strategic partnership should help both companies better fend off Google’s juggernaut.
