According to the website, JioCinema is celebrating a new milestone when digital viewing for the first time surpassed cable TV during a season of international sports. The telecommunications company claims that during the FIFA World Cup 2022 final event, where Argentina defeated France in a tense encounter that went into a penalty shootout, an astounding 32 million spectators tuned into its JioCinema website and phone app. The World Cup finals were seen by 110 million people online, making India one of the "largest digital viewership markets" for the international competition.

Having said that, it is important to note that Jio hasn't provided a clear explanation of how the viewership statistics are determined. Numerous customers encountered difficulties while attempting to stream the matches on the JioCinema website and mobile app during the first two days of the FIFA World Cup 2022. It's unclear whether the statistics were based on click-throughs or on having the page open for an undetermined period of time.
