entertainment, is set to launch in Singapore on November 1.
Audiences in Singapore will soon have front-row seats to a diverse mix of content covering live cricket matches, original movie series and premieres, shows from Star Vijay and Star Plus, as well as live news – all on one mobile application.

gain free access to the last four Dream11

on November 1; DC vs RCB (10pm) on November 2; and SRH vs MI (10pm) on November

Consumers in Singapore can subscribe to the service directly through the
Hotstarwebsite (www.hotstar.com/sg) or the Hotstar app on
Android or iOS devices for a subscription fee of S$69.98 (US$51.65) per
year.
The service will be available on connected TV devices such as Apple TV,
Android TV and Google Chromecast. All Hotstar users will also have access to
two concurrent streams and unlimited download (excluding live feed) per device.
Furthermore, Hotstar has collaborated with StarHub,
Singapore’s pay-TV provider, to make the streaming service accessible with
Indian+ on StarHub TV+ service. Alternatively, all StarHub Indian+ subscribers on a 12- or 24-month
contract will be able to access Hotstar, including the highly
