Network18, India’s largest news network, has claimed the title of world’s No.1 digital news and information network, extending its dominance from India to a global audience. According to Comscore’s latest rankings for June 2026, the network recorded 376 million unique visitors – the highest among digital news publishers worldwide.
This places Network18 ahead of major global players, including Times Internet Limited (347 million), NBCUniversal News Group (316 million), and Yahoo News Network (294 million), according to Comscore MMX Multi-Platform data.
The milestone reflects Network18’s expanding global scale and the strength of its integrated, multi-platform news ecosystem spanning television, digital, social media, and creator-led content. It builds on the network’s sustained domestic leadership – Comscore’s May 2026 report had already placed Network18 as India’s No.1 digital news network by total digital reach, pulling in around 360 million monthly users and commanding 76% of the country’s digital news audience.
Network18’s influence extends well beyond its own platforms. In June alone, it generated over six billion YouTube views – nearly double its closest competitor – while its social ecosystem drew more than 32 billion views last quarter, with a following that has grown past 472 million.
At the core of this milestone is trust: Network18 reports from the ground across India, reaching audiences through 20 television channels in 12+ languages and seven digital platforms across 13 languages, including CNN-News18, CNBC-TV18, Moneycontrol, Firstpost, and Storyboard18 – cementing its place as one of India’s most extensive, credible news operations.
