Spanish streamer Ibai “Ibai” Llanos has announced a special livestream where he will reveal new details about his upcoming boxing spectacle, La Velada del Año VI. The broadcast is scheduled for March 9 at 7:00 PM CET and will be streamed across his Twitch, YouTube, and TikTok channels. Ibai shared the news on his X account but did not provide any further information about the event.
La Velada del Año has become one of the most spectacular sports-driven livestreaming events in recent years. What started as a series of exhibition boxing matches featuring popular streamers has evolved into a full-scale entertainment phenomenon, earning cult status within both the live streaming and broader entertainment industries.
The event now takes place in some of Spain’s largest soccer stadiums. Beyond the boxing matches, La Velada del Año features a packed musical lineup and appearances by top streamers, professional athletes, and even Hollywood celebrities like Will Smith.
The most popular La Velada del Año events by Peak Viewers
The previous installment, La Velada del Año V, drew more than 9.2 million peak concurrent viewers, breaking multiple records in the process. It set a new benchmark for the most-popular individual livestream in history and even established a new all-time peak viewership record for Twitch during the broadcast.

There’s little doubt that the sixth edition of the series will raise the bar even higher. New records could very well be on the horizon — especially now that, in 2026, Ibai has finally expanded to multistreaming on YouTube.
The La Velada del Año V broadcast attracted more livestream viewers than both Sony’s PS5: The Future of Gaming Show presentation and the 2025 Ballon d’Or ceremony.
