Twitch Statistics

Twitch hours watched, peak and average viewers

Computed from our own readings of Twitch’s live listing, one about every 30 minutes since Oct 23, 2026, 11:49 UTC. Hours watched adds up every reading’s viewer total times 30 minutes; a missed reading counts nothing, so each figure is a floor, never an interpolation. Viewers are the total across the 100 most-watched categories, as above; the Kick and YouTube Gaming figures cover only the streams each platform’s public listing served to the read (see those sections). Only 1 reading exists so far, so the longer periods are still short.

Most-watched Twitch categories, last 7 days

Ranked by hours watched across our readings: each reading’s viewer total for the category times 30 minutes. Only the 50 largest categories of each reading are kept, so a category that dipped below that between readings is under-counted.

Most-watched Twitch channels, last 7 days

Ranked by hours watched across our readings while the channel sat in the 100 most-watched channels each read reached. Time outside that top 100 is not counted, so these are floors, and “hours seen” is how long each channel was inside it.

Twitch hours watched by broadcast language, last 7 days

Hours watched of the channels in each reading’s top 100, split by the broadcast language they declared. The large streams only, and a language’s setting, not where viewers live.

Most-watched Twitch channels right now

The 25 live channels with the most viewers at Oct 23, 2026, 13:44 UTC, out of the 8,102 streams this read reached (Twitch’s global top 30 plus the top 100 of each of the 100 biggest categories). Those streams carried 83% of the viewers in those categories, so a channel outside them cannot appear.

Twitch viewers by broadcast language

Each live channel declares one broadcast language. This splits the viewers of the 8,102 streams the read reached by that setting, so it describes the large streams, not every channel on Twitch, and it says nothing about where viewers live.

Kick right now, for comparison

Kick’s public stream listing, sorted by viewers and read 20 pages of 32 deep at Oct 23, 2026, 13:44 UTC: 627 distinct streams with 531,877 viewers between them. That is the head of Kick, not all of it, and Kick’s viewer figures are Kick’s own; the two platforms count differently.

YouTube Gaming right now, for comparison

YouTube’s public Gaming Live page listed 50 live streams to our server (US, English) at Oct 23, 2026, 13:44 UTC, with 176,121 viewers between them. YouTube chooses that list by region and does not rank it, so it is a sample of YouTube Gaming, not its biggest streams; the 25 most-watched of the listed streams are below, with YouTube’s own “watching” figure.
