Kai Cenat is the most-watched Twitch streamer of 2025
Twitch has numerous talented and popular content creators across its broad and far-reaching platform, but Kai Cenat may be the biggest of them all, and he is now assuring of his being the most-watched Twitch streamer of 2025.
One of the biggest things streamers are chasing is a loyal and consistent viewership, as that leads to greater revenue opportunities and generally signifies an increase in their popularity. It doesn’t matter whether a creator streams on Kick, Twitch, or YouTube; audience numbers are the biggest element that can make or break a content creator’s career. With 2025 coming to a close, we can now consider the year’s streaming achievements, and among the foremost is Kai Cenat being by far the most-watched streamer on Twitch.
How many hours watched does Kai Cenat have on Twitch in 2025?
Twitch star Kai Cenat has showcased his massive popularity once again by bringing in over 134 million hours of time watched on the platform. His total is so great that no other streamer is capable of catching up to him, even as Kai takes a break from going live following the success of Mafiathon 3.
2025 has been an amazing year for Kai Cenat, with him setting multiple records and raising the bar for other streamers to reach. His Mafiathon 3 subathon was the catalyst that Kai needed to become the most-followed Twitch streamer as he went on to cross the 20 million followers milestone, breaking his own record and setting a new standard for content creators on the platform.

That’s not all, as Kai also became the first English-speaking Twitch streamer to reach 1 million concurrent viewers. This put him in league with other content creators like Ibai “Ibai” Llanos Garatea and Darren “iShowSpeed” Jason Watkins Jr., who are among the select few streamers who have reached such highs. Kai Cenat also set a new subscribers record on Twitch, by reaching a peak of 1 million subs in just 27 days during Mafiathon 3.
These achievements in just one year may be why he was nominated for the Streamer of the Year at The Streamer Awards. He was ultimately defeated by iShowSpeed, but Kai Cenat still managed to set another record in the event by becoming the first streamer to net four streamer awards in one year. These records combine together to put on display Kai Cenat’s immense popularity and help explain why he is the most-watched Twitch streamer.
The number two and three spots on the most-watched Twitch streamers list are currently held by Zack “Asmongold” Hoyt and Hasan “HasanAbi” Parker, respectively. Their content is quite far apart from that of Cenat, as the pair both focus more on politics and drama, which brings them their own viewership.
Asmongold has recently started multistreaming on Kick while becoming more critical of Twitch. Hasan Piker, on the other hand, has remained loyal to Twitch but has found himself increasingly involved in controversy.
