What is Disney+ Hotstar?

Disney+ Hotstar is India's giant streaming service: live cricket including the IPL, Bollywood films, Hindi and regional dramas, and Disney content. The Indian catalogue is by far the richest.

Why is Disney+ Hotstar geo-blocked?

Hotstar's Indian rights, especially for live cricket, are locked to India. Outside the country the IPL and much of the Indian catalogue are blocked, and pricing changes too.

Which ROOT server unblocks Disney+ Hotstar?

Connect to a ROOT India server so Hotstar sees an Indian IP, then sign in to stream the IPL, Bollywood and the full Indian library. You can browse every option on the India VPN page or the full list of ROOT locations.

Disney+ Hotstar unblocking questions

Can I watch the IPL on Hotstar abroad?
Yes. Connect to a ROOT India server so Hotstar sees an Indian IP, then sign in with a valid Hotstar account to stream the cricket it carries.
Why is Hotstar limited outside India?
The richest catalogue and live cricket are licensed for India. A ROOT India exit gives you an Indian IP so the full Indian service loads.
Which India server is best for live cricket?
Mumbai and Delhi are the strongest for Hotstar. Pick whichever gives you the lowest latency and switch if one buffers.
Will my Hotstar account still work?
Yes. Your account is unchanged; the ROOT India server simply makes your connection appear to originate in India.
Is using a VPN for streaming legal?
Using a VPN is legal in most countries and ROOT is a legitimate privacy tool. ROOT changes where your connection appears to be, not what you are allowed to watch. Only stream content you have the right to access, with a valid subscription or entitlement where one is required.
