As streamers aspire to Twitch fame, the platform’s biggest names have already amassed millions of followers. These are the top 20 Twitch streamers with the most followers as of August 2025.
The world of streaming is experiencing explosive growth, especially with heightened competition from YouTube and Kick, yet Twitch still holds its position as the premier destination for live-streamed content.
At the very top of the pile are those streamers with millions of followers, who regularly attract tens of thousands of viewers as soon as they go live. Some of these streamers have been around for over a decade, while others are much newer.
These are the most-followed streamers on Twitch.
TwitchNinja overtaken by Ibai for most Twitch followers
After years at the top, Ninja is no longer the most followed Twitch streamer, as Ibai has overtaken his count at 19.5 million followers. Ninja still boasts with over 19 million followers too, but he has been stagnat for some time, while Ibai’s record-breaking “La Velada del Año V” streams have catapulted him to the top.
Kai Cenat is also growing rapidly and holds the record for most subs at one time, and he has now secured his spot as the second most-followed NA streamer, and third overall, behind Ninja and Ibai. He is very close to overtaking Ninja for second place.
Tfue, xQc, and shroud are the next NA-based streamers in the list, all with over 10 million followers. Tfue retired from streaming and then moved to Kick, so his spot will be up for grabs.
Streamers move to co-streaming on multiple platforms
A number of the top 20 Twitch streamers by follower count moved to YouTube, such as Myth and TimTheTatman, before returning to either stream only on Twitch, or co-stream on many platforms.
Some streamers, like Dr Disrespect, are no longer counted in the list as their accounts are permanently banned. Adin Ross has now been unbanned on Twitch, and his follower count is climbing again – his channel had 7.25 million followers when he was banned, which would place him 19th on the list.
Top 20 most popular Twitch streamers
20: TommyInnit – Followers: 7.3 million
- Real name: Thomas Simons
- Nationality: English
- Age: 21
- Known for: Minecraft
British Minecraft streamer TommyInnit is one of the youngest players on this list. At 21, he is already proving his worth as a Twitch streamer with an impressive follower count of over 7.3 million.

19: TimTheTatman – Followers: 7.3 million

18: Caseoh_ – Followers: 7.4 million
- Real name: Case Dylan Baker
- Nationality: American
- Age: 27
- Known for: Variety / Just Chatting
Just overtaking TimTheTatman in the top 20 is Caseoh, a streamer and TikToker from Arkansas. While he plays a variety of games, it is really his Just Chatting content that is his bread and butter, as viewers definitely tune in for his conversation more than his gameplay.
He blew up massively in 2024 and 2025, and his follower count continues to grow rapidly, so he should move up a few more places in the list soon.
17: Alanzoka – Followers: 7.7 million
- Real name: Alan Ferreira Pereira

- Known for: Variety
Alanzoka is a Brazilian streamer who was battling just outside the top 20 for a while, but has now moved up to 16th, with steady growth over the past couple of years.

16: Jynxzi – Followers: 7.7 million
- Real name: Nicholas Stewart
- Nationality: American
- Age: 23
- Known for: Rainbow Six Siege
Jynxzi’s rise to fame on Twitch is made all the more impressive by the fact that he grew his channel on a relatively unpopular game to stream – Rainbow Six Seige.

15: Clix – Followers: 8.3 million
- Real name: Cody Conrod
- Nationality: American
- Age: 20
- Known for: Fortnite
Currently the most popular Fortnite streamer, Clix is a competitive player whose skills, as well as quirky personality, made him one of the fastest-growing streamers of 2023, gaining over a million new followers.
This has shot him into the top 20 for the first time, and he is likely to move up higher, given several streamers ahead of him no longer stream on Twitch.

- Nationality: American
- Age: 31
- Known for: Variety
A 10-year veteran of the Twitch scene, sodapoppin has long hovered around the top of the viewer rankings. Although he has faced numerous suspensions during his long tenure on the platform, he remains as dedicated to streaming as he’s ever been.

9: Tfue – Followers: 11.3 million
Tfue/Twitch- Real name: Turner Tenney
- Nationality: American
- Age: 27
- Known for: Fortnite / Call of Duty
Tfue currently sits at 9th on the most-followed Twitch streamer list. Although he’s largely moved on from the game now, Tfue was the only Fortnite streamer who could rival Ninja during the game’s prime in 2018, and later usurped him in viewership in 2019. Ninja’s move to Mixer made way for him to top the charts, but he now rests at ninth overall.
Tfue retired from streaming in 2023, however, he made a return in November 2023 with a signing to Kick. Just like xQc, he splits his time between Kick and Twitch, but streams more on the former.
8: juansguarnizo – Followers: 11.5 million
- Real name: Juan Sebastian Guarnizo Algarra
- Nationality: Colombian
- Age: 28

Juan is South America’s biggest streamer. He is originally from Colombia, but boasts a massive audience in Mexico, where he currently lives. He streams a variety of games but mainly focuses on Minecraft and Grand Theft Auto.
7: xQc – Followers: 12.1 million
YouTube / xQcOW- Real name: Felix Lengyel
- Nationality: Canadian
- Age: 29
- Known for: Variety
A former Overwatch pro, Félix ‘xQc‘ Lengyel is often the streamer that pulls in the most views.

He was the most-watched streamer in 2021 and 2022, however, he lost the streak to Kai Cenat in 2023.
xQc’s signing with Kick most likely had something to do with it, as he now splits his streaming time between Twitch and Kick.
6: TheGrefg – Followers: 12.2 million
- Real name: David Cánovas Martínez
- Nationality: Spanish
- Age: 28
- Known for: Fortnite / Minecraft
YouTube superstar TheGrefg produces some of the finest Spanish content Twitch has to offer. While he mostly streams Fortnite and Minecraft, he’s then spread out into viral games like Fall Guys and Among Us, and his popularity grew further.

- Real name: Rubén Doblas Gundersen
- Nationality: Norwegian-Spanish
- Age: 35

4: Auronplay – Followers: 16.8 million
Twitch: Auronplay- Real name: Raúl Álvarez Genes
- Nationality: Spanish
- Age: 36
- Known for: Variety
Like TheGrefg, Raul ‘AuronPlay’ Alvarez Genes has also exploded since 2020. A big GTA V streamer, AuronPlay has been one of the central Among Us content creators since it blew up. He bizarrely picked up a Twitch ban in September 2021, but it was reversed 20 minutes later.
2: Kai Cenat – Followers: 18.5 million
Twitch / Kai Cenat- Real name: Kai Cenat
- Nationality: American

Kai Cenat only began streaming on Twitch in 2021, bringing his YouTube audience with him to get a head start. In only two years, he shot up to one of the most popular names on all of Twitch, and has set the record for most subs at one time, twice, setting it again with his 2024 subathon, Mafiathon 2.
Now in the top three for followers, and with over 18 million, he can now set his sights on becoming number one.
1: Ninja – Followers: 19.2 million
Twitch: Ninja- Real name: Tyler Blevins
- Nationality: American
- Age: 33
- Known for: Fortnite
Like Tfue, Ninja may not be dedicated to Fortnite anymore, but it’s certainly the game that helped him reach never-seen-before levels of popularity on Twitch. A former Halo pro, he now plays a variety of big titles and reclaimed his crown as the most-followed Twitch streamer.
However, with the Fortnite boom well and truly over, Ninja’s stats for viewership did drop. In September 2022, he announced that he was taking a break from the internet for an indefinite period of time. He’s back streaming regularly now, but does so to fewer viewers, meaning his follower count has stagnated somewhat. His top spot may not be safe.
1: ibai – Followers: 19.8 million
Twitch: Ibai- Real name: Ibai Llanos Garatea
- Nationality: Spanish
- Age: 30
- Known for: Variety
Spanish streamer Ibai Llanos is known for originally casting League of Legends, but today streams a variety of content.
