A ranked view of what our sampling sees on Twitch: which games hold the largest audiences, how many channels are already sharing each one, which channels drew the most watch time on the last complete day, and which added the most followers. The number that matters most on this page is not the biggest audience, it is viewers per channel - a huge room split a thousand ways is a worse place to go live than a small one split ten.
The board is unavailable
We could not reach our own Twitch index for this request, so there is nothing to rank. Nothing has been estimated in its place. Everything below still describes exactly what the board measures when it is up.
Every figure on this page is our own measurement, not a Twitch endpoint. Our directory engine reads Twitch's public live listing every 15 minutes, appends the concurrent viewer count for each live channel, and rolls the readings into one row per channel per day. As of 2 September 2026 that gives 66,493 active Twitch channels in the catalog, 41,506 of them with a measured average concurrent viewership, across 2,018 games and 37 languages.
The audience column on the game board is a sum of averages: for every channel we have measured in that game, its average concurrent viewership, added up. That makes it the size of the audience pool over our measurement window rather than a headcount at this instant, and it is the honest way to size a room from sampled data. Channels we have never caught live are counted in the channel column and excluded from every viewer figure, which is why the roster is always larger than the measured set.
Viewers per channel is the column to read second and act on first. Twitch's biggest game is almost always the most crowded one, so the pool being large tells a new channel very little; the ratio between the pool and the number of channels sharing it tells them whether they will be seen. The board prints both and states which is which, and the verdict on each row is built from the ratio rather than from the rank.
The two channel boards come from the most recent completed nightly rollup, so they answer "the last full day we hold" rather than "right now". Most watched is ranked on hours watched, which is average concurrent viewers multiplied by time on air, and it is the closest thing to a measure of attention that sampling can produce. Fastest growing is ranked on followers added that day; the percentage is shown next to it, because on a platform where the biggest channels add thousands a day the absolute number and the rate say different things.
Nothing here is a Twitch statistic and nothing here is complete. Our sweep browses games rather than enumerating every live channel, so the tail is undercounted, and a channel that streams between two sweeps can be missing from a day entirely. Shares and ratios survive that; absolute counts are ours and are labelled as ours.
Audience is the sum of the average concurrent viewership of every measured channel in the game. Channels is the full roster, measured is how many of them have a viewer figure at all, and viewers per channel divides the first by the third.
The room bar is relative to the widest game on the board, not to an absolute threshold, because the same viewers-per-channel figure means different things on Twitch than it does elsewhere. A full bar is the roomiest game shown; an empty one is the most contested.
The hour curve underneath is the whole platform over the last three days of sampling, in UTC. It is the same curve the Twitch stream time tool uses to rank hours a channel has never tried.
Catalog figures quoted in this section were measured on 2 September 2026 across 66,493 active Twitch channels, 41,506 of which carried a measured average concurrent viewership.
It does not tell you what is trending in the last hour. Our game figures are averages over a sampling window and the channel boards are yesterday's rollup, so this is a picture of where attention has been sitting, not a live ticker. It also cannot see channels it has never caught broadcasting, which biases every count towards channels that stream often and long. And a roomy game is an opportunity, not a promise: the ratio says you can be seen there, not that the audience wants what you make.
No. PlayerSells is not affiliated with Twitch. Every number here comes from our own sampling of Twitch's public live listing, taken every 15 minutes and rolled up nightly. That is why we can show a viewers-per-channel ratio that Twitch does not publish, and why our absolute counts are smaller than the platform's own.
Read the viewers-per-channel column, not the audience column. The biggest game is nearly always the most crowded, so an unknown channel is more likely to be found in a game where the audience outnumbers the channels serving it. The verdict on each row is built from exactly that ratio.
Because it did not appear in the last complete rollup day, or because we have never caught it live. A channel only enters our sample if it is broadcasting when a sweep runs, so quiet weeks and short streams are under-represented. Nothing is filtered out for editorial reasons; adult-labelled channels are the one exception and are excluded everywhere on this site.
The catalog figures move with our sampling and are cached for half an hour. The two channel boards move once a day, when the nightly rollup completes, and the page prints the day they came from.
Average concurrent viewers multiplied by hours on air, over the rollup day. One viewer watching for ten hours and ten viewers watching for one hour both count as ten hours watched, which is why it measures attention rather than reach.
