In 2025, Kick continued to grow, expand into new regions and establish itself as a major force in the global livestreaming market. What started as an alternate platform option has evolved into a world-leading streaming portal for many countries around the globe, breaking records and reaching new heights throughout the year.
Of course, none of this success would be possible without the streamers behind the numbers. The most popular Kick streamers of 2025 came from all corners of the globe, representing the Middle East, the Americas and Asia. Streams Charts together with 1xBit breaks down top Kick streamers of 2025.
Most watched Kick streamers in 2025
Having recorded unbelievable year-on-year growth, Maher “maherco” Sultaneh emerged as the clear leader in total watch time on Kick this year. The Jordanian streamer’s energy was unmatched, recording almost 2,800 broadcasting hours for the year, a figure no other streamer in this ranking could come close to. This set him apart from the competition, helping him record 84,950,000 Hours Watched.
Throughout 2025, maherco’s viewership was driven by the Kings League, a media football league which expanded into the MENA region recently. Maherco was named one of the league’s presidents, alongside other top Arabic-language streamers Hani “absi” Al-Qablan, Mofareh “drb7h” Al Asiri and Ahmed “sxb” Alqahtani — Sxb was the only one of these streamers to not have Kings League as his most-watched category for the year, instead seeing his channel topped by GTA RP content.
While the Arabic-speaking streamers on this ranking enjoyed strong results for the year, including positive dynamics compared to 2024, Absi was the biggest winner of the year. Benefitting from joining the Kings League and enjoying massively expanded viewership for his GTA content, Absi received over 475% more watch time than he recorded last year.
Following behind the top two, Luis Fernando “WestCol” Villa Álvarez continued to dominate Kick’s Spanish-speaking ecosystem, converting massive community engagement into one of the highest annual watch time totals of 2025. In terms of average concurrent viewership, WestCol boasted one of the strongest audiences of this ranking, although the top spot went to sxb with over 70,900 Average Viewers.
Japan was represented in the rankings by Shun “Korekore_CH” Aoki, who debuted on the platform earlier this year. Korekore built his reputation on YouTube, but his jump to Kick has seen him rapidly grow to become his country’s top streamer on the platform — most Japanese creators are usually found on Twitch and YouTube Live.
Adin Ross ranked as the most-watched streamer from North America on Kick this year, recording just over 51,000,000 Hours Watched. His broadcasting time dipped slightly (9%) compared to last year, but he maintained total watch time year-on-year thanks to an increase in average viewership.
Moving back to Spanish-speaking creators on Kick, Stiven “MrStivenTC” Tangarife Caicedo, Andy Dante “ElZeein” Merino Ramirez and David “davooxeneize” Quint all landed on the lower-half of our ranking this year. While DaVooxe and ElZeein are relatively new to Kick, MrStiven has been broadcasting on the platform since the very beginning. For 2025, the MrStiven’s watch time grew by over 120%, whereas newcomer ElZeein enjoyed a 315% increase to his yearly viewership.

Most popular Kick streamers in 2025
In 2025, WestCol stood out as the undisputed leader on Kick in terms of Peak Viewers, thanks to his massively popular boxing event Stream Fighters 4. The tournament increased in popularity massively compared to the previous iteration, which received just over 1.4M Peak Viewers. For Stream Fighters 4, WestCol received over 4,000,000 Peak Viewers for his personal Kick channel, helping set a new platform record.
While no other creator could come close to the multi-million peak of WestCol, ElZeein took second place with his own boxing event, La Nocha Dorada. The inaugural competition received 1,36M Peak Viewers on ElZeein’s channel, marking a significant success for the Peruvian streamer — ElZeein’s inaugural boxing event fell just shy of the PV for WestCol’s third Stream Fighters.
A new face to our ranking, Ilyas El Maliki received over 601,000 Peak Viewers for his Kings League coverage. The Turkish creator managed a podium placement thanks to the hype behind the media league, which also was the peak viewership cause for both sxb and drb7h, the other Arabic-speaking creators on this ranking.
Former MMA fighter Rampage Jackson brought mainstream crossover appeal to Kick in 2025, generating notable concurrency peaks for his streams throughout the year. After making the first appearance in April, he reached peak towards the end of the year on the platform.
Brazilian streamer Alexandre “Gaules” Borba Chiqueta continued to dominate esports viewership in Brazil, and has found a foothold on Kick. The platform is making greater efforts to enter the esports broadcasting market, and for his coverage of the recent CS2 Major — featuring local team FURIA — Gaules received over 327K Peak Viewers.
North American creator Adin Ross received over 254,000 Peak Viewers for his influencer boxing event, Brandrisk Promotions #10. The tournament featured many influencers from around North America, although it fell short of the massively popular events in South America.
Rounding out the group, Argentinian streamer Manuel “Mernuel” Merlo and Colombia’s MrStivenTC secured the final spots on this ranking. Mernuel earned his place among the top performers through an IRL collaboration stream with North American creators, titled ‘meet the yankees’, which received over 240,000 PV: a testament to the power and influence of collaborative content between creators. MrStiven also reched his peak through an IRL stream, which was often his most popular content in the past.
