Cristiano Ronaldo has launched his own YouTube channel ‘UR’ and set a record of sorts by surpassing rival Lionel Messi with over 10 million subscribers. The Inter Miami captain has around 2.2 million followers on his YouTube channel which he launched in September 2021, while the Portuguese footballer garnered one million subscribers in just 90 minutes of the launch of his channel.
Ronaldo, 39, already boasts a big following on X with 112.5 million followers, 636 million on Instagram and 170 million on Facebook. The football star is delighted with UR and shared his excitement on social media informing fans that the wait is finally over.
He said the YouTube channel marks a new beginning for him.

Cristiano Ronaldo To Discuss Football
The Al Nassr captain is very active on social media and interacts with fans now and then. Through his new YouTube channel, Ronaldo will discuss his passion for football, his family life, and fitness – wellness and nutrition. He will also be hosting guests, most probably stars of the football community, for talks and special inside looks and peeks, to get the world talking about football.
The channel launch is a high moment for Ronaldo who failed to secure the UEFA EURO 2024 title for Portugal, and Al Nassr lost the Saudi Super Cup to Al Hilal – a challenging season. There have also been rumors about the football superstar hanging up his boots for good, but he is adamant about playing in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
