The top streamers to follow during the 2026 World Cup

Khizar Mundia Published 24/06/2026

With the 2026 FIFA World Cup underway, fans have more ways than ever to follow the action beyond traditional broadcasts. Many creators are producing tournament-themed content, but these are the top streamers worth watching throughout the competition.

The tournament is being held across the United States, Canada and Mexico and many streamers are supporting their favorite teams and broadcasting unique content centered on the tournament. Crypto casino Stake even organized a football match 10,000 feet in the air to promote its World Cup promos. Here are the best streamers to keep an eye on during the ongoing World Cup in North America.

IShowSpeed may be the best creator to watch during this tournament, as the YouTuber is personally livestreaming every single match. He signed a deal with FIFA, Fox, and YouTube, allowing him to do so without worrying about potential DMCA issues. The streamer has met several football legends, been trolled by Lionel Messi fans, and even celebrated Cristiano Ronaldo winning 5-0 against Uzbekistan. The massively popular streamer also took his father and brother to their first World Cup match, capturing their reactions during a broadcast.

Speed isn’t new to such IRL livestreams, and the YouTuber has built his entire career around traveling the world while using his camera to broadcast everything. His World Cup livestreams also contain his usual engagement with fans, but they also have another element, where the American is showing off his love for the game — he even released a song ahead of the tournament.

xQc is another top creator who is making unique content for the World Cup. While he can’t livestream the matches, the streamer is focusing on what he does best: reacting. He gives his takes on how the matches went, what was good, and where the teams or players felt short. Unfortunately, xQc did make a mistake as he showed 5-second World Cup highlights in a stream, which led to Twitch banning him. The streamer was reportedly banned for 48 hours, but Twitch unbanned him within 4 hours.

xQc is primarily one of the top casino streamers but he is also known for his reaction streams. This is why it isn’t surprising that he is reacting to the World Cup, as the football tournament is the most trending thing right now. The Canadian streamer just needs to avoid showing anything that can lead to him receiving another DMCA strike on Twitch, as the next one will be the third and final one.

Celine Dept

The massively popular YouTuber is creating different content compared to most creators covering the World Cup. Instead of doing watchalongs or reaction streams, Celine Dept is taking part in football challenges and meeting legends. So far, she has met both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo and broadcast both encounters on her YouTube channel. The creator also streamed a broadcast in which she created her own World Cup tournament, giving viewers something unique to watch.

This content format, however, is typical of Celine Dept, and she has been uploading similar videos on YouTube since she created her channel in 2019. Meeting footballers, hosting unique challenges, and recreating iconic goals are just some of the videos Celine Dept shares with her audience.
