Top Kick streamers by live viewership in Q1 2026

Loading

Kick has established a substantial international audience in livestreaming, supported by the wide variety of broadcast formats available on the platform. The geographic diversity of its creators, combined with their differing content strategies, plays a direct role in shaping overall viewership trends. These dynamics are clearly reflected in the Q1 2026 statistics compiled by Streams Charts in collaboration with 1xBit.

The Kick viewership rankings for Q1 2026 are supported by 1xBit, a leading platform for anonymous cryptocurrency esports betting. The service focuses on user privacy through a no-KYC registration process and supports transactions in over 40 digital assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana.

Top 10 Kick streamers of Q1 2026 by Hours Watched

The published Hours Watched statistics clearly highlight Kick’s international reach. The top ten streamers represent seven different countries, proving a geographically diverse creator base. A defining feature of the quarter was the strong performance of Jordanian creators, with Hani “Absi” Al-Qablan and Maher "Maherco" Sultaneh securing the first and second positions in the ranking. Overall engagement remains highly concentrated, as half of the top 10 streamers exceeded 10 million Hours Watched over the past three months.

In terms of geography, popular content spans North and South America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Alongside this broad regional distribution, the platform is characterized by a wide range of broadcast formats. Japanese creator Shun “korekore_ch” Aoki generates millions of Hours Watched through call-in streams and discussions centered on local internet incidents, while Polish streamer Artur "Rybson" Gębicz focuses on high-level competitive League of Legends gameplay.

Content diversity is also evident among other top performers. Large-scale special events, such as boxing tournaments hosted by American streamer Adin Ross, coexist with long-form GTA V roleplay sessions, which drive significant viewership for creators such as Egyptian streamer Amr “3mr” Diab and Saudi creator Mofareh "drb7h" Al Asiri (also known as Darbaha). The In-Real-Life (IRL) category further reflects this variety, ranging from dynamic street-based broadcasts by Polish streamer Patryk "pajalock" Zawadzki to more unconventional, appearance-focused content produced by American creator Braden "Clavicular" Peters.

Top 10 Kick streamers of Q1 2026 by Peak Viewers

The ranking of streams with the highest peak concurrent viewers demonstrates the importance of special events and collaborations in attracting mass audiences. The leader in this metric is Colombian creator Luis Fernando "WestCOL" Villa Álvarez with the format that has gained traction in recent years: collaborations between influencers and political figures. The streamer hosted a joint broadcast with the President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro.

Second place went to Serbian content creator Bogdan "BakaPrase" Ilić. The stream was tied to another growing industry trend — celebrity boxing matches. The broadcast took place as part of the creator’s own promotion, the Baka Fighting Championship (BFC), sponsored by Kick. American streamer Adin Ross ranked third with similar sports-related content. His Brandrisk Promotions 13 became the third most popular stream on his channel, featuring main fights featured Blueface vs Chibu and Supah Hot Fire vs Gypsy Crusader. The fourth position belongs to the Hype channel, which streamed a mixed martial arts tournament held in Yerevan.

Fifth place is held by the British influencer and notorious Manchester United supporter Frank Ilett, known as The United Strand. The streamer promised to shave his head if his team secured a fifth consecutive win, which was about to happen in the Premier League match against West Ham. However, the team ultimately lost, so we continue to witness his luxurious mane in all its glory.

The remaining spots in the top ten were split between gaming streams and coverage of local events. Turkish streamer Ferit "wtcN" Karakaya took sixth place thanks to a spike in viewership during a collaborative gaming session with other creators. Seventh place went to Polish streamer Dominik "MokrySuchar" Stokłosa, who broadcast the Polish streaming awards ceremony Złote Antosie.

Eighth and tenth places were occupied by Turkish creators Eray "Eray" Can Özkenar and Ayberk "Ayberk" Babur, who achieved strong results during GTA streams. In ninth place, Saudi Arabian creator drb7h also reached his audience peak through GTA roleplay content.
