Most Watched Female Streamers in Q2 2025


A new leader emerged among female streamers in Q2 2025: Miko Ch. overtook Pekora Ch. to claim the top spot in the first-half rankings. Both VTubers — part of the hololive agency — remain incredibly active and are the only female streamers so far to surpass 20 million Hours Watched this year.

Emiru has made impressive strides over the past three months and is now the most-watched female streamer on Twitch. By the end of the first half of 2025, she had racked up 12.3 million Hours Watched, placing her fourth overall among female streamers. What’s especially notable is that Emiru leads the rankings among non-VTubers — a standout achievement in today’s streaming landscape.

While YouTube streamers dominated the top 10 in Q1, the balance between platforms evened out in Q2. The current rankings feature five streamers from both Twitch and YouTube. However, when it comes to VTubers vs. non-VTubers, the scales still tip in favor of the VTubers.

The most-viewed female stream of Q2 2025 came from VTuber Gawr Gura Ch., who went live on April 16 to announce her departure from hololive and unveil plans for a farewell concert. The emotional broadcast drew a peak of 229,249 viewers, setting a new all-time record for her channel. Since then, Gawr Gura has returned to streaming with a brand-new persona.

Mexico’s AriGameplays delivered the most-watched Twitch stream among female creators in Q2 2025. Her Ariatopia 2025 live event peaked at 85,393 concurrent viewers, thanks in part to the opportunity for fans to earn the first-ever global Twitch badge issued in Latin America.


Most Watched Female Streamers in Q1 2025

The list of the most-watched female streamers of Q1 2025 was dominated almost entirely by VTubers. Topping the charts were Pekora Ch. and Miko Ch., who racked up an impressive 14 million and 12.6 million hours watched, respectively, in just the first three months of the year.

In third place was American streamer Rachell ''Valkyrae'' Hofstetter, who streamed across both YouTube and Twitch. She led all non-VTubers with 5.7 million watch hours in Q1 2025. Her strong performance was fueled by streams of Valorant, Fortnite, and the viral co-op indie horror titles R.E.P.O. and Schedule I.

The only other non-VTuber to crack the top 10 was Emily ''Emiru'' Schunk of OTK Network. During the first quarter of the year, she spent much of her time streaming Cyberpunk 2077 and Marvel Rivals, along with engaging in fan-favorite Just Chatting sessions.


Most Popular Female Streamers in Q1 2025

The most-watched female-led livestream of Q1 2025 came from Japanese VTuber Shion Ch., a member of the Hololive agency. On March 6, her farewell stream peaked at an impressive 289,079 viewers as she announced her decision to retire from VTubing and leave Hololive. Shion cited mental health struggles and creative differences with the agency as key reasons for her departure.

Joining her in the top three for peak concurrent viewership were fellow Hololive stars Miko Ch. and Pekora Ch. Both streamers hit their high points back in January, drawing peak audiences of 249,000 and 153,000 concurrent viewers, respectively.

As for non-VTubers, the highest peak viewership came from Mexican streamer Alana ''Alanalarana'' Scarlett, who attracted over 80,000 concurrent viewers during a live broadcast of the Mexico vs. Brazil match at the 2025 Kings World Cup Nations.

In the first week of 2025, the top spots for the most-watched female streamers were dominated by VTubers from Japan. Taking the #1 spot was Miko Ch., who racked up over 3,000,000 Hours Watched (HW) in just 7 days. This impressive achievement came from her 24-hour New Year's marathon, which kicked off on January 1st.  

The most-watched female streamer on Twitch from January 1st to 7th, 2025, was American streamer Gingy. She earned over 1,000,000 HW, thanks to her streams of Escape from Tarkov. Viewer engagement was further fueled by Twitch Drops, which allowed viewers to earn in-game cosmetic items by watching her streams.

The most-popular female stream came from Miko Ch., who hosted a Gomoku (also known as Five in a Row) tournament with VTubers from the hololive agency on January 5th. The stream peaked at 249,493 concurrent viewers, setting a new record for Miko’s channel.

The most popular stream at the YouTube Non-gaming section was held by Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, the 66th President of Mexico. Her stream, which covered the opening of a new hall at the National Museum of Anthropology, hit a peak of 88,845 concurrent viewers.

Popular Puerto Rican streamer Alondra "Alondrissa" Michelle set a new personal record on Kick in early 2025, reaching a peak of 44,015 viewers while reacting to the new album by Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny. Notably, during the first week of 2025, Alondrissa streamed exclusively on Kick.
