Owen Harsono Published 15/04/2026

Sometimes, playing Valorant can be a little stressful and exhausting. That’s why many Valorant fans prefer watching someone else play the game instead. If you’re looking to sit back and watch some entertaining gameplay, here are the top Valorant streamers in 2026.

Mixwell: Top EU/ES streamer

Mixwell is a name that’s been hovering around first-person shooter games for a while. He kickstarted his career in professional Counter-Strike, where he played for a handful of notable teams like OpTic Gaming and Cloud9. Unfortunately, he had pretty mediocre results and chose to make the switch to Valorant.

In Valorant, Mixwell had an easy time becoming a professional player, where he played in VCT EMEA. He joined the likes of G2 Esports and Team Heretics, where he was able to compete against the best Valorant teams in the world. However, he ultimately retired from professional play to become a full-time streamer.

Mixwell does a bunch of things on his Valorant streams, like playing the game or hosting watch parties for professional matches. He has a lot of skill and experience under his belt, so he can also be a pretty insightful streamer to learn from. Overall, Mixwell is a versatile streamer, but primarily streams to a Spanish audience.

TenZ: The face of Valorant

TenZ is a streamer who needs no introduction. Anyone who has played a single game of Valorant knows who he is – he’s pretty much the face of the game. TenZ was already a well-known streamer back when he was playing Counter-Strike, rising to fame thanks to his insane flicks and snappy aim.

He easily made the transition to Valorant when the game was released and immediately became one of the best Valorant players in North America. It was only natural he gave professional play a shot, which he did.

Under Sentinels, TenZ helped put North American Valorant on the map, becoming one of the few players to win two international titles before retiring in 2024.

When tuning into a TenZ stream, expect to watch some high-level Valorant gameplay. With his crispy aim, he easily generates highlight reels every single stream. Gameplay aside, TenZ is just really a wholesome and chill guy.

Tck10: Top BR streamer

It’s safe to say Tck10 is a streamer with a lot of personality. Tck10 is one of Brazil’s most popular Valorant streamers, and he’s known for many things. Most notably, he has a running meme of having the biggest biceps in the entire scene.

Tck10 is an official streamer for the Cloud9 organization. In 2024 and 2025, he was the most-watched Brazilian streamer and has pretty much become a celebrity in the Portuguese-speaking scene.

The Brazilian streamer primarily focuses on playing the game, where he usually hovers around the top Valorant ranks. Tck10 just has that natural, on-stream presence and personality that makes him a very entertaining person to watch. Prepare for high-energy streams and some funny moments when tuning into his live streams.

GOFNS: Most experienced IGL

FNS is arguably the most experienced player on this entire list. He was a former professional in-game leader in both Counter-Strike and Valorant, where the Canadian played for some of the biggest North American teams in the scene.

FNS found success during the early years of Valorant, when he played for top teams like OpTic Gaming and NRG. He led the former to a huge victory at VALORANT Masters Reykjavík 2022, taking home $200,000.

However, like the other players on this list, FNS decided to hang up his mouse to transition into streaming. Today, he’s one of the most popular watch party streamers in the world. FNS can crack a lot of jokes while also educating his audience on what’s happening in these professional Valorant maps.

With over 15 years of competitive experience, there really aren’t that many people who can match FNS’ knowledge and expertise.

Tarik: Most popular overall

Tarik is really one of those guys who rose to fame from nothing. He had his humble beginnings in Counter-Strike, where he was live streaming himself playing the game shirtless. Despite his goofy persona, Tarik was a really talented player and ended up becoming a professional player. In 2018, he won North America’s only Major and was also named the MVP of the tournament.

After a successful career in Counter-Strike, Tarik moved over to Valorant, but didn’t pursue a professional career. Instead, he felt like competition was enough and stuck to a streaming role. This turned out to be one of the best decisions he’s made, as Tarik is now the most popular Valorant streamer in the world.

Tarik really does everything, from playing the game at a high level to hosting watch parties. If you’re new to Valorant streams, Tarik is a very versatile streamer, and his content can never go wrong. He appeals to audiences on all levels.
