A new era for Cristiano Ronaldo’s YouTube channel

Since launching his channel “UR Cristiano” in August 2024, Ronaldo has quickly garnered over 67 million subscribers. The recent collaboration with MrBeast blends humour and insightful discussions about Ronaldo’s experiences in the digital content world. In the video, they brainstormed potential future content ideas, including behind-the-scenes footage of training sessions and exclusive match-day vlogs.

Ronaldo’s channel focuses on providing fans with a glimpse into his life beyond football, from personal moments with family to insights into his training regimen.

MrBeast, who boasts over 331 million subscribers, expressed amazement at Ronaldo’s rapid growth on YouTube. “Honestly, I thought you were gonna do 20-30 million in the first month,” MrBeast remarked. “When you did 60, I was like, ‘Oh my gosh.’ The most ever gained before in a month was 20 million, and that was us.”

Ronaldo’s foray into YouTube is part of a broader trend among athletes leveraging social media to connect with fans. In September, he became the first to surpass 1 billion followers across all his social media accounts, solidifying his status as a global icon.
