Loading

As one of the world’s largest English-speaking populations, the United Kingdom holds a strong position in the livestreaming industry. British livestreamers continued their strong momentum into 2025, with the country’s top creator even competing for most-watched Twitch streamer of the year. Britain’s place in livestreaming is diversified, with creators spanning esports, IRL streams and events, and niche community activities.

Rounding up 2025, Streams Charts takes a look over the most watched UK streamers of the year. Explore the top British streamers of 2025, ranked by their total watch time across all livestreaming channels. 

#10 Charlie “NYKchazza” Clark

Charlie “NYKchazza” Clark snatched the tenth spot on our ranking thanks to a wildly successful year on Twitch for the young content creator. Chazza originally built his audience as a FIFA creator, but has since branched out into other gaming content, and placed a heavier focus on IRL content with his group, the Bov Boys.

NYKchazza has grown rapidly in 2025 with his football-content base

Chazza began streaming on Twitch in 2021, quickly finding an audience among fellow British FIFA fans. The final months of 2024 were a major turning point for Charlie, when he hosted his first ever subathon: a major success. Chazza converted the strong viewership of this subathon into long-term growth for 2025. 

In May 2025, Chazza capitalised on his upwards momentum and joined a content creation group called the Bov Boys — another member of which we’ll take a look at later. Together, they began uploading videos with the group, as well as hosting collaborative livestreams, which have been Chazza’s most popular content yet.

This new exposure and viewership helped her to reach over 500,000 Twitch Followers this year, as well as expand her audiences on other social media platforms.

Over her livestreaming career, beginning just over 4 years ago, Lydia has slowly built her large audience through dedicated Just Chatting and variety gaming content.

Now, he tops the charts, ranking as the most-watched DayZ streamer of 2025. After almost a decade of full-time livestreaming, TheRunningManZ’s passionate and consistent support of DayZ has carved out a loyal audience for the creator, proof of the rewards of dedication in the streaming scene.

Sliggy began livestreaming on Twitch in 2022, but the past couple of years have seen him dedicated more and more time to livestreaming. He also expanded to multistreaming on YouTube Live, something which has opened him up to brand new Valorant esports audiences. 

Sliggy’s multistreaming expansion and general popularity growth saw him generate over 8,000,000 Hours Watched in 2025, leading the field as Valorant’s forefront educational co-streamer and creator. 

#6 Michael “AuzioMF” Faria

Michael “AuzioMF” Faria is a cornerstone of the UK’s FIFA / EA Sports FC community, positioned as one of the game’s most recognisable and dedicated creators.

In early 2025, AuzioMF recorded his most popular stream ever, with over 36,800 viewers tuning in to his reaction to EA Sports FC 25’s Team of the Year. The British creator's dedication to producing constant and passionate content helped him move up the rankings this year — for 2024, he ranked as the seventh-most-watched British streamer.

With 9,230,000 Hours Watched generated throughout the year, he remains one of the most popular names in the EA Sports FC scene. With viewership and his following only on the up, AuzioMF could well dominate English-language viewership for this game in 2026.
