La Velada del Año did not shatter records on Twitch as it usually does during its sixth edition at the Estadio La Cartuja in Seville. However, the influencer boxing event helped its creator, Ibai "Ibai" Llanos, create a new personal YouTube milestone, reaching over 5 million peak concurrent viewers according to Streams Charts. This also meant the sixth edition became the first one in the series to break the 8 million Peak Viewers barrier.
During the fight between Gero Arias and Viruzz, Ibai's personal YouTube channel hit 5,083,067 Peak Viewers (PV), a new milestone. He had broken the personal mark on his Twitch channel multiple times over the last couple of La Velada del Año editions, with a peak of 7,675,621 viewers still standing as the purple platform's single-channel record.
Note: After Ibai's clarification in late July 2026, the final peak viewership numbers for La Velada del Año V were updated.
As a result, both his YouTube and Twitch channels now sit among the ten most popular ever in livestreaming, making the Spanish sensation the only streamer with this unique achievement. The event also reached a peak of 8,725,296 viewers, a new series record that was led by audience engagement on YouTube instead of Twitch, as multistreaming reiterated its impact on the livestreaming ecosystem today.
La Velada del Año has become one of the most significant global events on the annual livestreaming calendar. What has made it a must-see is that Ibai has set new personal Twitch and platform viewership records with each iteration, driven by marquee bouts between some of the most popular content creators and influencers in the Spanish-speaking community and live performances from top Hispanic artists.

Top La Velada del Año VI co-streamers
The sixth iteration of this highly anticipated influencer boxing spectacle was covered by 41 unique broadcasting channels, according to Streams Charts. Ibai's three channels on Twitch, YouTube, and TikTok were by far the most favored by watch time and peak viewership.
Although most of the participants on the card did not broadcast the action themselves, many Kick streamers from the Hispanic livestreaming world were especially busy covering the event. A few of them also reached personal peak viewership marks on their channels as a result.
Multistreaming played a big part in La Velada del Año VI not continuing the series' run of milestones on Twitch. Nevertheless, the decision to broadcast the event on three platforms helped ibai reach a new viewership mark on YouTube and maintained the series' reputation as one of the biggest spectacles in livestreaming today.
