ChatGPT Ads is live in nine confirmed markets — the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, and Brazil — as of mid-August 2026. India is not on the current list, though some Indian ChatGPT users received a privacy-policy email in mid-August previewing how ads would work — a preparatory signal, not a launch. Q3–Q4 2026 remains the widely cited estimate.
