Euronews tops rankings as fastest growing English-language news website
Euronews is the fastest-growing news website in the English-speaking world for the second month in a row, nearly doubling its audience as rivals shed readers.
Euronews has surged to the top of the rankings as the fastest-growing English-language news website, according to recent industry figures. The website witnessed a staggering 99% increase in visitors over the past year, reaching 44.8 million visits in September alone. This represents a remarkable 99% rise compared to September 2025, and marks the second consecutive month Euronews has entered the top 50, breaking through in July.
September's figures marked the biggest year-on-year increase among all sites on the list. Despite a challenging environment for the sector, Euronews bucked the trend, as half of the top 50 sites saw their traffic fall by more than a fifth compared to September 2025, with only seven sites experiencing growth. In contrast, 42 sites recorded a decline month-on-month.
Other notable growth in the year included newsletter platform Substack, which saw a 37% jump to 172.2 million visits, Indian outlet One India up 44%, and Al Jazeera with a 14% rise. However, some major sites suffered significant drops, with US magazine Newsweek plummeting 62% to 35.8 million visits, and Indian sites Hindustan Times and News 18 both losing over half their traffic.
The monthly ranking of the top 50 English-language news websites is compiled based on data from the analytics company Similarweb.
