Top Call of Duty streamers of 2025

Loading

With a legacy and storied history in gaming, Call of Duty remains one of the most popular livestreaming titles. Thanks to its consistent release schedule of new games and content, an exciting esports scene, and thousands of streamers broadcasting their gameplay, Call of Duty is one of the English-speaking world’s favourite games, especially in North America.

As part of our end-of-year recaps, Streams Charts takes a look across the most-watched Call of Duty streamers of 2025; from veterans of the scene on Twitch to a new generation of rapidly-growing creators on YouTube, explore an overview of the entire Call of Duty livestreaming scene.

#10 Yann “Chowh1”

Yann “Chowh1” is a French Call of Duty streamer, and the only creator not streaming to an English-speaking audience. Chowh1’s popularity on Twitch kicked off during the COVID-19 pandemic, with rapid growth across 2020 and 2021. His channel has continued to grow overall since, but his streams throughout 2022 remain his most popular content to date. 

After a short break at the end of 2024, Chowh1 returned to Twitch this year and continued to be France’s most popular Call of Duty streamer. The French streamer is not exclusively dedicating his time to the CoD franchise; he often streams other games on Twitch, such as Arc Raiders, but Call of Duty remains his most popular gaming content.

#9 Herschel “DrDisRespect” Beahm

Herschel “DrDisRespect” Beahm, also known as Guy, is a persona-driven streamer known for his outlandish personality and high-production broadcasts. Over the years, DrDisRespect has tried his hand at many shooting games, but Call of Duty was undoubtedly his most popular content of 2025 on YouTube. 

A controversial figure in livestreaming, DrDisRespect continues to command a strong audience; in July of last year, he reached over 141.6K PV for a marathon Warzone session. The DrDisRespect brand still commands an authority in livestreaming, and hundreds of thousands of viewers tuned into his shooter gameplay this year.

#8 Timothy “TimTheTatman” Betar

Timothy “TimTheTatman” Betar is one of the most recognisable personalities in gaming livestreaming, well-known for his variety content, but also a long-standing history with the Call of Duty franchise. While he previously had an exclusive contract with YouTube, he now multistreams to both YouTube and Twitch, with a combined count of over 12.5M followers.

TimTheTatman’s global popularity, and in particular his popularity within North America, made him a top Call of Duty streamer of the year despite less broadcasting time than his peers. Tim’s most-streamed game of 2025 was actually Marvel Rivals, which he broadcasted for over 495 hours longer than Call of Duty: Warzone. 

#7 Patryk “Rallied” Salata

Patryk “Rallied” Salata is a former professional Call of Duty player who transitioned into streaming in 2018, when he retired from competing and joined OpTic Gaming as a content creator for a couple of years. Although an English-speaking creator based in the US, Rallied is Polish and thereby Europe’s most popular Call of Duty creator — only two creators outside the US ranked in this top 10, Rallied and Chowh1. 

While other creators on this list have achieved their most popular streams of the year thanks to collaborations with other streamers or significant events, such as major updates, Rallied achieved his success based on his raw gameplay. 

Throughout 2025, Rallied continuously broke records for his new YouTube channel. While Call of Duty creators previously focused largely on Twitch, where most of North America’s gaming livestreaming audience was in the past, YouTube is becoming increasingly popular among this audience.

#6 Tyler "TeeP” Polchow 

Tyler "TeeP” Polchow is another retired Call of Duty esports professional and a former world champion, having claimed the title at the Call of Duty Championship 2014 while playing with compLexity. In the later 2010s, he would transition from player to esports coach and analyst, and in 2021, he would finally join ENVY as a content creator.

Known for his tactical mind and deep understanding of the franchise, many fans turn to TeeP for opinions on the latest updates and metas. In July 2025, he received over 284K Peak Viewers for his opinion on the latest weapon balance patch, by far his most popular content ever hosted on YouTube; this result also made him the most popular Call of Duty streamer of the year by peak concurrent viewers. 

TeeP continues to operate as a veteran authority within the Call of Duty ecosystem, maintaining relevance through consistent streams, community engagement, and his reputation as a world champion. For the future, converting these atmospheric singular peaks into returning viewers could see TeeP become the face of Call of Duty livestreaming. 

#5 Thomas “Zoomaa” Paparatto

Thomas “Zoomaa” Paparatto is another esports professional turned streamer who enjoyed a storied career of major tournaments wins and stints under teams like FaZe Clan, OpTic Gaming, and ENVY. He retired from competing due to an injury in 2021, and immediately made the jump into livestreaming. 

After retiring from competing, Zoomaa began to stream more often on Twitch and quickly found himself an audience. The COVID-19 pandemic proved a perfect timing for many established personalities to make the jump into content creation, and in these four years since his retirement, he has accumulated over 40,000,000 Hours Watched on Twitch.

Throughout 2025, Zoomaa continued to stream Call of Duty content on both Twitch and YouTube. In particular, his The Flank podcast was hugely popular; The Flank episode covering the 2025 CoD World Championship received over 30,000 PV, becoming his most popular Twitch stream of 2025.

#4 Seth “Scump” Abner 

Seth “Scump” Abner is one of the most well-known players in Call of Duty history. He claimed the 2017 world championship title, won countless major tournaments, and was one of the faces of the OpTic Gaming brand for many years. Since transitioning into streaming, he has become one of the world’s most popular creators and was unfortunate to miss out on a podium place here.

Alongside other famed names of the livestreaming industry like TimTheTatman and DrDisRespect, Scump achieved his high-ranking on this list with a relatively low amount of broadcasting time. The American creator streamed only 923 hours of Call of Duty content to his main platform, Twitch, meaning some creators on this list even achieved a thousand more hours broadcasting time than Scump. 

This year, Scump’s most popular content included watch parties and reaction content for Call of Duty. For example, Scump received over 37,000 Peak Viewers twice in 2025 for Call of Duty esports co-streams, but ultimately, his most popular content was his reaction to this year’s COD Next.

#3  Lucky Chamu

Lucky Chamu is an American streamer who previously appeared under the compLexity banner as a Content Creator for the organization. Over the past few years, he has grown a significant audience for himself on Twitch, and now, having begun streaming on YouTube in 2025, he has opened himself up to far more potential viewers.

The move to YouTube has dramatically changed Lucky Chamu’s audience. While his viewership was not recording any significant increases over recent years, his watch time and average viewership on YouTube showed great promise last year. Compared to Twitch, where he recorded just over 1,000 Average Viewers for a stream in 2024, he recorded over 10,000 average concurrent viewers multiple times throughout 2025 on YouTube. 

At peak popularity this year on YouTube, Lucky Chamu received over 136.7K Peak Viewers and maintained over 71,000 Average Viewers for this seven-hour broadcast. The self-titled ‘#1 controller player on WarZone’ has found great success on the new platform, where Lucky Chamu has been able to revitalise and grow his audience.

#2 Kris “Swagg” Lamberson

Kris “Swagg” Lamberson has been making Call of Duty videos for YouTube for over a decade. The streamer is one of the franchise’s oldest and most recognisable members, and after joining FaZe Clan in 2020, he catapulted himself into the upper echelons of livestreaming. Joining FaZe Clan marked a serious milestone for the creator, as he quickly found great success in livestreaming. Now, in his post-FaZe era, he continued to build his brand and career in livestreaming.

Since his most popular streams, such as over 96K Peak Viewers for a broadcast in 2021, things calmed down for Swagg. His viewership waned slightly, although he still averaged close to 10,000 AV for his 2022 Twitch streams, and he decided to sign an exclusive contract with YouTube. After roughly two years of exclusivity, Swagg returned to Twitch in late 2024 and continued to multistream to YouTube. Following his departure from FaZe last year, multistreaming has helped Swagg to grow his personal streaming brand.

While his 2025 results and viewership were lower than his best performances ever in livestreaming, Swagg remains one of North America’s most popular streamers. For the coming months, Swagg will be looking to convert his status and legacy to raw viewership, aiming for the 100,000 concurrent viewer mark he fell just shy of years ago.

#1 Robert “BobbyPoffGaming” Poffenbarger

Robert “BobbyPoffGaming” Poffenbarger has been a full-time streamer since 2018, starting on Twitch and now multistreaming across Twitch and YouTube. The American creator has quickly found strong viewership on YouTube, where he has been streaming since 2024, and on that platform alone, he accumulated over 21M Hours Watched for all games on the channel. In terms of the Call of Duty franchise, he received 19.27M Hours Watched, making him the most-watched CoD streamer of the year.

Although originally a Twitch streamer, BobbyPoffGaming’s YouTube channel was wildly popular throughout 2025. Of his total watch time, he received over 85% from YouTube; while Twitch was a bastion of CoD viewership in the past, and North America in general, this has slipped in recent years. Creators such as Bobby have found great success in multistreaming, and by staying ahead of the competition, they catapulted themselves to the top of the rankings this year.

Bobby is well-known within the Call of Duty scene for his strong mechanics and captivating gameplay, which saw him dominate CoD leaderboards in the past. Unsurprisingly, his most popular content of the year was simple WarZone gameplay, which the creator is best known for. On July 9, he received over 69,000 viewers for a WarZone marathon, a new channel record for his account.  

Most watched Call of Duty franchise streamers of 2025

The most-watched Call of Duty streamers of 2025 largely reflect the audience base for the franchise, English-speaking gamers from North America. However, the industry is not a monolith, and with each year, YouTube continues to gain more traction both within the game and in the region. As of 2025, YouTube is already the top platform for CoD gameplay, going by BobbyPoffGaming’s millions and millions hours of watch time. 

Call of Duty streamers, similar to other creators in many other sectors, benefitted from either collaborating with one another or by utilizing recent events and news to grow their brands. In 2025, the success of streamers was driven by consistency, multistreaming, and the ability to join in on these key moments. Established names within Call of Duty continue to enjoy legacy audiences, but brand-new creators are rapidly moving up the ranks, and for 2026, the top CoD streamers of the year could be much different.
