The Wrap TV ↗How it started
Joe Rogan's partnership with Spotify began in 2020, according to Variety Movies. The new agreement extends that relationship through another multiyear licensing deal.
The previous deal was worth a reported $250 million, Forbes said. That figure describes the earlier agreement, not the renewal announced on October 8.

On October 8, 2026, Rogan and Spotify announced that they were continuing their partnership, The Wrap TV reported. "The Joe Rogan Experience" will remain on Spotify under the new multiyear agreement.
Variety Movies described the renewal as a nine-figure deal and reported that Spotify handles advertising sales and licensing under the agreement. The supplied coverage does not give an exact price or the number of years it covers.
The renewal concerns Spotify's number one podcast, according to The Verge, which also described it as the top show worldwide. The Hollywood Reporter reported that Rogan has been the top podcaster in the US for several years.
Where it stands
The partnership has been renewed, with Spotify continuing its advertising and licensing role, according to Variety Movies. The supplied reports establish that the show is staying on Spotify, but they do not establish that the new agreement makes it exclusive to the platform.
What to watch
The remaining questions concern the contract's precise value, its duration and any changes to distribution rights. Variety Movies reports a nine-figure renewal, but the supplied coverage does not resolve those details or identify a date for further disclosure.
