Kai Cenat is the most-subscribed channel on Twitch of all time.[1]

A subscription on Twitch is a way for users to support their favourite streamers and creators on the platform using real money.[2] Content creators can offer custom emotes, badges, and more to subscribers. Users can also gift subscriptions to others, so subscriber numbers can increase.[3] A subscription expires after one month and can be renewed for a "subscription streak".[4][5]

As of November 30, 2024, Kai Cenat holds the most-subscribed channel on Twitch of all time, with 728,535 subscribers.[6][1]
