CazéTV made livestreaming history during Brazil’s 2026 FIFA World Cup match against Morocco, becoming the first channel across non-Chinese platforms to surpass 10 million concurrent viewers. The broadcast ultimately peaked at more than 12 million viewers and also helped YouTube set a new platform-wide concurrent viewership record.
CazéTV sets new livestreaming viewership mark
CazéTV, run by Casimiro Miguel, is one of the most recognizable sports-related channels in livestreaming and has ranked among the most-watched channels across platforms every year. On June 13, it hit an astounding 12,399,472 Peak Viewers (PV) during the coverage of Brazil's opening World Cup match against Morocco, setting a new mark.
No channel — individual or studio-run — has ever surpassed 10 million PV by itself, putting CazéTV's achievement in rarified territory. The closest anyone else has come to this mark was another streaming sensation, Ibai Llanos, whose channel reached 9.33 million PV during its broadcast of the La Velada del Año V.
For those wondering, Brazil and Morocco played out a 1:1 draw, with Vinícius Júnior scoring for the record five-time world champions. The fact that the match was available for free on the CazéTV channel played a major part in the creation of this milestone.
The sheer engagement generated for this match and in CazéTV's livestreams also helped YouTube set a new milestone. It peaked at 20,202,476, becoming the first livestreaming platform to surpass the 20M total Peak Viewers barrier.
FIFA has taken an interesting approach this time for the broadcast of perhaps the most popular sporting event in the world. Apart from traditional television broadcasting, this quadrennial football tournament will be broadcast live on livestreaming platforms like TikTok (parts of matches at a dedicated hub on the app) and via watch parties on the channels of select YouTube streamers.
