Top football game streamers of 2025

Loading

Football simulation and video game content creators often represent a niche segment. Titles related to football enjoy perhaps the highest support among all the options in the sports games genre, but they remain within their own bubble when looking at the entire industry. Among all football-related games, EA Sports FC remains the king, with its years of history and shared legacy with FIFA ensuring that fans come back each year with the introduction of each new iteration.

Some of the most prominent names to livestream the last two EA Sports FC games have made our list of the most-watched football sim game content creators. We also observed the impact of multistreaming, as two names used live broadcasts on multiple platforms to break into the top five, a trend that could become much more prevalent when we revisit these rankings at the end of 2026.

Most-watched football game streamers in 2025

#10 RocKy

Corentin "RocKy_" Chevrey is a French professional player who has represented prominent esports organizations such as Team Vitality and PSG eSports. He was part of the Montpellier roster in 2025 but did not play much through the year, instead focusing on content creation. The 27-year-old spent most of his time playing the FUT Champions (Ultimate Team Champions) mode in EA Sports FC 26 and 25, and opening the various packs launched in these 12 months.

#9 zwebackhd

A "professional elite level FIFA player," as per his Instagram about section, Chris "zwebackhd" was also one of the early competitive gamers to start livestreaming his gameplay, starting his Twitch channel in 2013. The American with a German heritage is known for his "Zweback Song" (the intro music he used for years), which became an iconic anthem for his long-time viewers. In terms of last year's content, he stuck to what has made him such a beloved and unique figure in the FIFA (now EA Sports FC) community, providing entertainment over just winning games.

#8 TisiSchubech

TisiSchubech is a channel consisting of friends Timo (Ti) and Simon (Si), who are known as the "Kings of Hype and Challenges" in the German-speaking EA Sports FC community. Based in Mannheim, Germany, they have been pillars of the football gaming scene since 2013. Last year, they continued to showcase their talents in EA FC, often competing against each other in "Squad Builder Battles" or "Pack Openings." They were also lauded for the quality of their streams, with many considering the pair the "Gold Standard" for production and entertainment in the European streaming market.

#7 absi

One of the top streamers in the Middle East and North Africa region, Hani "absi" Al-Qablan, has been a big proponent of football simulation games and the highly popular Respect RP GTA roleplaying server in the Arabic-speaking community. Like many others on this leaderboard, the Irbid, Jordan-based creator began the year focusing on FC 25 with his trademark comedy content, even using a double face-cam setup to engage more closely with his audience. He also collaborated with other major Arabic-speaking creators, making his channel a central hub for the regional gaming community.

#6 DjMaRiiO

A massive benefactor of the growing multistreaming trend, Mario "DjMaRiiO" Garrido was busy on Kick, YouTube and Twitch in 2025. Renowned for his love of all things football, be they broadcasts of real-world games or livestreaming playthroughs of football simulators like EA Sports FC, he has been able to balance football and live entertainment, two of the Hispanic community's favorite genres, pretty well. In 2025, the Vizz Agency talent tried out both FC 25 and 26, engaging viewers with pack openings and challenges.

#5 GamerBrother

Simon "GamerBrother" is one of Germany's most prominent FIFA game franchise influencers, a reputation he has used to also become a renowned content creator. In 2025, he continued to put out Let's Plays, montages, and tutorials for the world's most popular football game franchise, raking in thousands of views. He also grew outside of the livestreaming scene, starting and hosting his own sports podcast, At Broski - Die Sport Show.

#4 maherco

The second MENA representative here, Maher "maherco" Sultaneh, is another influencer whose love for football has translated to long hours playing the sport's simulation titles. Perhaps Kick's most popular streamer in the region, outside of Saudi Arabia, he spent a large part of his livestreaming run last year entertaining his community's passion with his hilarious gameplay. These broadcasts were less about "pro-level" tactics and more about high-energy entertainment, yelling, and hilarious reactions.

#3 runthefutmarket

If ZwebackHD is the "King of Intros," then Nick "runthefutmarket" is the "King of the Market." Also popularly known as NickRTFM (his YouTube channel name), the American is known for his deep analytical mind, his "no-filter" honesty, and his mastery of the Ultimate Team economy. As always, his top content in 2025 was the popular "Rat to Glory" series, built on "sweaty" or effective tactics to win instead of spending real money. Nick also had to take a break from livestreaming in October 2025 due to a health situation that saw him undergo surgery, but he's been back to his busy self since returning a couple of weeks later.

#2 AuzioMF

A globally renowned EA FC content creator, Michael "AuzioMF" Faria is perhaps the United Kingdom's top influencer for the legendary franchise. Someone who has been livestreaming FIFA/EA FC content for almost a decade, the Brit remains one of the most trusted voices in the community for high-level gameplay. His 2025 output involved his trusted player card reviews, breaking down weekly objectives, sharing Ultimate Team strategies and fantasy league discussions, culminating in a nomination in the Best in eSports – Creators category at the Football Content Awards 2025.

#1 eliasn97

Atop the pile of this 2025 table was none other than Elias "eliasn97" Nerlich, a former pro and Germany's top streamer overall by watch time in 2025. The Berlin resident livestreamed challenges and pack openings, apart from running back his in-demand Eligella Cup. Such massive success also saw him branch out more into entrepreneurship last year, including growing The Icon League, a media football league inspired by the Kings League, and hosting the influencer-heavy Eligella Summer Games.

In 2025, EA FC continued to have the top names when it came to rankings for the most-watched football simulation streamers. German and American creators were especially prevalent, showing how certain markets are always a cut above the rest for different titles due to various factors. We also have to mention the growing influence of creators from the MENA region, as they continue to grow their audiences globally on platforms like Kick.
