Most-watched French streamers in 2025

Loading

In 2025, French streamers remained among the standard bearers when it came to livestreaming content. Be it live esports broadcasts, charity and gaming marathons, or special events across genres, these influencers emerged as some of the most-watched globally. 

But who among these stars from the European powerhouse were the most popular among viewers last year when it came to the Hours Watched (HW) metric? Streams Charts has gone through its database to answer this question, and one thing is for sure: French content creators have played a massive part in the global rise of livestreaming and will continue to do so in the years to come.

#10 Pierre-Alexis "Domingo" Bizot

Domingo remains one of the most respected names in the French livestreaming scene on Twitch, and he attained just over 12 million HW last year. The success this reputation has brought him meant that in 2025, his content went through a lot of changes, much of it away from the camera and in the entrepreneurial world.

He focused a lot on his media brand, announcing in April that his flagship talk show, Popcorn, would shift from a weekly live show to a multi-platform media brand. Returning to the purple platform in September with a monthly format, its episodes were massive successes, often filmed in front of live audiences with higher production values and "prestige" guests from both the internet and traditional TV/film.

He also invested in the French expansion of the Kings League, becoming the president of FC Silmi. All this activity did not mean his live broadcasting schedule was left behind, as he participated in massively successful events like the Z Event 2025, with his channel raising nearly €1.48 million, and continued to collaborate with other prominent French names.

#9 Jean "TraYtoNlol" Medzadourian

A well-known name in the League of Legends scene, TraYtoNlol is a former professional who currently works as a streamer for G2 Esports. In 2025, his most headline-grabbing move was the founding of his own esports organization, French Flair, consisting of a star-studded roster (for ERLs) and surprising fans and pundits. Across the year, he accumulated 12.8 million HW.

When it came to livestreaming, he covered some of the most coveted LoL tournaments as part of G2's content creator roster, including the 2025 World Championship. In fact, he was the second-most-watched French streamer for the MOBA last year, with viewers taking a liking to his high-level, analytical, yet incredibly hyped commentary.

#8 Adrien "ZeratoR" Nougaret

ZeratoR is another legendary French Twitch who commands the attention of fans and his peers like few others, and he put up 13.66 million HW last year. As always, the past year brought with it his renowned Z series of events, be it the ZLAN 2025 or Z Event 2025, and while he was less active compared to 2024, he still put up good enough watch numbers to enter these top ten rankings.

Z Event 2025, which brings together France's top content creators for a noble cause, also caught the attention of the livestreaming world, shattering records and reinforcing the nation and ZeratoR's prominence on the global scene. The charity marathon ended up raising over €16.1 million and was a viewership success, ending as the second-most successful event in the series' history by watch time and peak viewership.

#7 Corentin "Gotaga" Houssein

Gotaga, one of France's most famous content creators, took seventh place with 16.62 million HW. The retired Call of Duty esports professional is another to have used his reputation to become a successful entrepreneur, co-founding the esports team Gentle Mates and playing a massive part in making it a viewership magnet.

To the delight of his epsorts fans, the 32-year-old brought back his iconic Master Kill series in late 2025 with high-production value and massive stakes (including a €20,000 prize pool episode featuring Squeezie and Doigby). He also participated in successful events like ZLAN 2025 and Stream for Humanity, with the latter raising over €1.6 million across two editions last year.

#6 Mohamed "aminematue" Mahmoud

One of the most followed French Twitch streamers, aminematue had a relatively sedate 2025, although he still managed to reach almost 20 million watch hours. He kicked it off with a bang, with the first of two Stream for Humanity livestreams ending as the purple platform's most-popular stream of 2025 at that time.

He then participated in The Match for Hope 2025, a charity football game featuring top influencers and football stars. The event received generous donations and attracted hundreds of thousands of viewers during its live broadcast as fans were treated to a contest with a relaxed, friendly vibe that mainly aimed to entertain the crowd and impress fans with great goals.

A few months later, Aminé became one of the highest-profile names to throw his weight behind the Kings League France, emerging as the co-owner of F2R. He also retained his place as one of the country's top Grand Theft Auto V influencers, often sharing his role-playing adventures with thousands of viewers.

#5 Lucas "Squeezie" Hauchard

Squeezie, one of the top French Twitch streamers and YouTubers, made news in 2025 with his announcement of the final edition of his popular GP Explorer series. The third edition of this motorsport venture involving top French creators was held in October, and the hype was such that its announcement stream put the influencer among Twitch's top channels at that time.

GP Explorer 3, dubbed "The Final Race," eventually peaked at over 1.4 million concurrent viewers on Twitch to set new watch time and peak viewership records for the series. It was also broadcast live on national television (France 2) for the first time. Overall, he accrued 20.18 million HW in 2025.

What helped make it such a successful venture was the expansion of the driver roster to include international creators (like Ludwig and Michael Reeves), cementing the event's status as a global benchmark for creator-led sports. Squeezie also appeared in other events like Stream for Humanity while entering the Kings League by purchasing the UNITE3D team.

#4 Toma "JLTomy" Abdellaoui

Over the years, JLTomy has established a reputation as one of France's most-watched content creators, particularly on Twitch, accumulating almost 22.5 million watch hours. The Bordeaux resident is especially known for his GTA V broadcasts, which was reinforced by the fact that he was one of the legendary game's top ten names by watch time in 2025.

The founder of the JobLife (JL) esports organization also spent a large part of the previous year covering matches of his teams across games like Valorant and LoL. He also participated in influencer events such as Z Event 2025, with all these broadcasts helping retain his place among Twitch's 50 most-watched streamers for another year.

Away from content creation, his popular JL collective, one of the most tight-knit groups in French streaming, launched JL TV. This project is a dedicated production arm that creates "TV-style" shows for Twitch, moving away from simple gaming towards high-end entertainment.

#3 Ilhan "byilhann" Coskun

French livestreaming's fastest rising star, byilhann, ended the year as one of its three most-watched streamers, almost notching 23 million HW. The 21-year-old initially burst into the limelight thanks to his short videos on TikTok, where his POVs, vlogs, and comedy content won him many fans.

Having finally made a name for himself on Twitch with his participation in December 2024's DTR Fight, the youngster continued to grind last year. This saw his year-on-year watch time rise by an astronomical 401%, ensuring he finished among the Amazon-owned livestreaming service's 50 most-watched streamers for 2025.

Byilhann's most prominent project in 2025 was a walk from Montpellier to Paris, which was key to furthering his prominence among French-speaking audiences. The series, sponsored by British multinational neobank Revolut, garnered significant attention and contributed immensely to his increased viewership and follower count last year.

#2 Maxence "Anyme023" Turlot

Another massively swift riser on Twitch from France, the story of Anyme023 is perhaps even more surprising than the more gradual growth we saw with byilhan. He was nowhere near the top Twitch streamer by watch time at the start of 2025, but his grind and determination saw him end the year among the platform's 50 top names by HW, ultimately putting up 24.78 million HW.

It is safe to say that the Rennes resident is the new prince of French livestreaming, as he represents the newest generation of "content-first" superstars. Another influencer who initially blew up on TikTok with high-energy sketches and parodies, he only moved to Twitch a few years back, and there's been no looking back since.

What makes Anyme023 unique among viewers is his complete focus on pure entertainment, especially in GTA RP, and the Just Chatting segment. This success has also seen him collaborate with other top names and release a song, Shamballa, which he also performed at major festivals like Solidays.

#1 Kamel "Kamet0" Kebir

Kamet0 retained his status as the undisputed king of livestreaming in France for another year, accruing around 39 million watch hours in 2025. The Twitch superstar has far outgrown the tag of just a content creator, having branched out into business and entrepreneurship with remarkable success.

The Karmine Corp founder is at times single-handedly responsible for the viewership success of events his side participates in. He also used his fame to participate in and support causes like Stream for Humanity, while his influence among French-speaking audiences even saw him succeed while branching into something new, like live football broadcasting.

Kamet0 was also the biggest scalp for the Kings League France, and the coverage of his side, KARASU, which reached the final, often drew thousands of viewers. One of the last few remaining superstars to give Rocket League some love, his accomplishments over the past decade were rewarded with a nomination in the Streamer of the Decade category at the prestigious Esports Awards 2025.

The rankings for the top French streamers in 2025 proved one thing: Twitch remains the undisputed king in the country. Moreover, while established names continue to put up mammoth numbers, a couple of rising stars showed that the future is bright, with their content reflecting the changing dynamics of the industry as we head into 2026.
