List of Bangladeshi OTT platforms

Over-the-top (OTT) platforms in Bangladesh refer to video streaming services delivered via the internet without traditional broadcast or satellite systems. In recent years, Bangladesh has experienced a rapid growth in locally owned OTT platforms due to rising smartphone usage, affordable data, and increased demand for digital entertainment. These platforms offer films, dramas, music videos, web series, sports content, and live television—primarily in Bengali.

Features

Most Bangladeshi OTT platforms offer the following features:

  • Android and iOS apps
  • Smart TV support (Toffee, Binge, Chorki)
  • Local payments (bKash, Nagad, Rocket)
  • Global access (esp. for expatriate audiences)

Comparison with International OTTs

While global platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+ Hotstar, ZEE5, Hulu and HBO Max are available in Bangladesh.[1] They are not Bangladeshi-owned and are thus excluded from this list. However, some (e.g., Hoichoi) have added local payment options and feature Bangladeshi content.
