The New York Times says it added 420,000 digital subscribers in the third quarter of 2026, keeping the paper on track for a company goal of reaching 15 million subscriptions by the end of 2027. In an earnings report, the company also states it has 13.76 million total subscribers.
Several outlets connect the subscriber figure to broader financial performance. One report highlights that digital-only subscription revenue and overall revenue both rise in the quarter, describing the subscriber growth as accelerating. Another focuses on the timing of the gains, noting that the third-quarter addition follows a slower second quarter.
Overall, the coverage largely agrees on the core update: the Q3 subscriber net adds of 420,000 and the ongoing progress toward 15 million by year-end 2027, with different emphasis on business metrics versus subscription momentum.
