Cristiano Ronaldo now also breaks records on YouTube, just as he has done in football

Cristiano Ronaldo, the current Al-Nassr player and five-time Ballon d'Or winner, continues to break records—this time on YouTube. His channel, 'UR Cristiano,' has set a blistering pace in subscriber growth, amassing one million subscribers in just 90 minutes, 10 million within 11 hours, and an astonishing 20 million in a single day. Now, a month since its launch, the channel has already garnered nearly 65 million subscribers.

Tomás Froes, CEO of Dentsu Creative, the company managing the channel, shared, “This is Cristiano’s vision to connect with his fans and share his messages with the world. He is personally involved in content decisions, themes, and is the main figure of the channel.”

Since its debut on August 21, the 56 videos uploaded have already accumulated over 500 million views, making Ronaldo the most-followed athlete on YouTube. This rapid success adds to his already unparalleled social media presence, as he has become the first person to surpass one billion followers across all platforms combined.

Ronaldo’s Position in the YouTube Rankings

While 'UR Cristiano' has surged to nearly 65 million subscribers, it still trails behind the most subscribed YouTube channel in the world—MrBeast—with over 319 million subscribers. MrBeast is known for sharing videos featuring extreme challenges with hefty financial rewards. Currently, only 11 YouTube channels have surpassed the 100 million subscriber mark. As of now, 'UR Cristiano' ranks 32nd globally in terms of the most subscribed channels.

This meteoric rise places Ronaldo's channel among the fastest-growing in the history of the platform, and it appears poised to climb even higher in the rankings as he continues to engage his vast fanbase through curated content that reflects his personal interests and messages.

What’s Next for Ronaldo on YouTube?

Despite his impressive accomplishments, Cristiano Ronaldo is still chasing one more YouTube milestone: the Red Diamond Play Button. This exclusive recognition is awarded to channels that exceed 100 million subscribers. Currently, Ronaldo needs just under 40 million more subscribers to join this elite group, but given his channel's extraordinary momentum, it may not be long before he adds this achievement to his long list of accolades.

• One million subscribers in 90 minutes, 10 million in 11.5 hours, and 20 million in a single day.
• Nearly 65 million subscribers in just one month.
• 500 million views across 56 videos since its launch on August 21.
• Currently the 32nd most-subscribed YouTube channel worldwide.
• Just 40 million subscribers shy of reaching the 100 million mark for the Red Diamond Play Button.
