Rakuten TV is expanding its enterprise FAST services into the U.S., Middle East, and Japan, marking its first international expansion beyond Europe. The company is providing technical integration for Rakuten Group’s R Channels in Japan and launching owned-and-operated FAST channels on platforms like TCLtv+ in the U.S. and Middle East.
This expansion signals a shift for Rakuten TV from a regional European player to a global technology and content partner. By entering the highly saturated U.S. market with a curated mix of Hollywood and European titles, the company is testing whether differentiated international content can carve out space on major OEM platforms like TCL and LG. This move connects to the broader industry trend of hardware manufacturers seeking turnkey enterprise solutions to manage growing FAST inventories without building internal infrastructure. Watch for Rakuten TV to announce additional platform partnerships beyond TCLtv+ in the U.S. to gauge its ability to scale outside its domestic European stronghold.
The company is also looking to refine its data capabilities, as seen in recent Rakuten TV audience measurement initiatives aimed at improving ad performance in key European markets.
