Yango Play Launches in Iraq, Joining 1001’s Streaming ‘Super Bundle’

Yango Play, the global digital entertainment platform, has officially launched in Iraq through a strategic partnership with 1001, the country’s leading streaming platform. This agreement grants 1001 exclusive B2B distribution rights for Yango Play in the Iraqi market, significantly expanding access to premium entertainment.

Through this collaboration, Yango Play’s extensive library of movies, series, and Yango Play Originals will be added to 1001’s growing OTT bundle portfolio. By bringing together global and regional services under a single offer proposition, 1001 strengthens its position as Iraq’s leading OTT bundle destination, all in one place. This partnership expands access to high-quality, licensed streaming while offering users a simplified, reliable, and locally relevant entertainment experience.

As part of the agreement, 1001 will also exclusively manage the distribution of Yango Play’s services across the B2B and corporate sectors, including telcos and ISPs, further expanding its reach across Iraq’s digital ecosystem.

By making premium content more accessible and seamless to consume, Yango Play and 1001 are actively contributing to a more sustainable and rights-respecting media ecosystem in Iraq.

Dr. William Page, Co-Founder of 1001, highlights :“We are building the infrastructure for a scalable, legal streaming ecosystem in Iraq. Bringing Yango Play onto 1001 strengthens our offering and expands access to premium content through one unified platform.” Roman Shimanskiy, Chief Executive of Yango Play, adds: Together with 1001, we are making premium entertainment more accessible through a compelling bundled proposition, while supporting the shift toward a more sustainable and licensed content ecosystem in Iraq.”
