Match Group Q3 Results: Tinder DAUs Return to Growth
Match Group reports Q3 2026 earnings with Tinder daily active users growing year-over-year for the first time in over three years.
Match Group reported third-quarter 2026 financial results Tuesday, highlighting a notable turnaround at its flagship dating app Tinder, which posted year-over-year daily active user growth in September after more than three years of decline in that metric.
The Los Angeles-based company, which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker MTCH, also pointed to sustained momentum at Hinge, its faster-growing dating platform. Hinge delivered double-digit growth across users, revenue, and payers compared with the same period a year earlier, reinforcing its status as a key engine within the Match Group portfolio.

The Tinder recovery carries particular significance for Match Group investors and analysts who have closely tracked the platform's struggle to reverse user erosion following pandemic-era peaks. A return to positive daily active user growth, even at its early stage, signals that management's product and marketing initiatives may be gaining traction with daters.
Hinge's across-the-board double-digit performance adds a second pillar to Match Group's growth narrative, as the company has leaned heavily on that app to offset Tinder's earlier weakness. The combination of a stabilizing Tinder and an accelerating Hinge gives the company a more balanced revenue foundation heading into year-end.
