This March 27 broadcast garnered over 5.16 million Peak Viewers (PV), becoming his most popular one in over two years and his third most popular stream on the red platform.

His livestream of the second leg of the 2025 Campeonato Paulista final between Brazilian heavyweights Corinthians and Palmeiras garnered over 5.16 million Peak Viewers (PV). This March 27 broadcast was his most popular one in over two years and his third most popular one on YouTube.
Such has been the success of CazéTV's live coverage of football games, especially those from Brazil, that he owns four entries in the top five leaderboard of the most popular streams by peak concurrent viewership on YouTube In fact, among steamers, he is the most popular ever on YouTube, with his two most popular broadcasts coming while covering Brazil's matches at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The second leg of the 2025 Campeonato Paulista final ended 0:0, meaning Corinthians emerged the victor after beating Palmeiras 1:0 in the first leg. This was the champion's 31st title in the top state football league in the Brazilian state of São Paulo, extending its lead on the losing finalist by five trophies.
The Campeonato Paulista, officially the Campeonato Paulista Série A1, has been dominated by four clubs — Corinthians, Palmeiras, Santos and São Paulo — the four most successful by titles won. The rivalries between this quartet have captured the imagination of fans across the country for generations.
For many Brazilian football fans, CazéTV has emerged as the top preference when it comes to catching the action live. The Rio de Janeiro native, thanks to his deep knowledge of the local game and his excellent commentary talents, has become the top football co-caster in the world, brokering partnerships with global and local bodies to livestream matches under their banner, including Sao Paulo's top-flight league.
Casimito's coverage of the Paulistão final second leg has made Casimito the most popular channel across livestreaming services since mid-2023. Indian space agency ISRO's coverage of the Chandrayaan-3 mission's successful landing on the Moon's south pole in August 2023 notched over eight million concurrent viewers, easily making it one of the biggest events to ever be livestreamed.
It also reiterated football's rising position as a livestreaming favourite, with eight of the ten most-popular ever broadcasts on YouTube coming from this sport. Moreover, almost all of the most popular sports tournaments to be broadcast live over the years across livestreaming services have come from the "Beautiful Game."
In fact, as recently as January 2025, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Championship 2024 final helped YouTube Live set an all-time high for peak concurrent viewership, led by the ever-growing Vietnamese audience base.
We're just three months into the new year, but Casimito has already laid down a daunting marker for other content creators. It is not often that a broadcast on any platform reaches a million PV, let alone five million concurrent viewers, so it will be intriguing to see if any other channel can step up or if we have already seen the record livestream for 2025.
