From creators who built their channels during the FIFA era to a player who combines regular
live streams with top-level competitive EA FC, these are the six streamers leading the FC 26 category right now.
EA Sports FC 26 remains one of the most watched sports games on Twitch. The scene runs on more than just pack openings, though. The biggest channels cover Weekend League runs, break down the Ultimate Team market, test new cards, work through tactics, and watch real football matches together with their viewers.
This ranking weighs follower count, but viewership over the last 30 days matters most. Consistency, content quality, reach across other platforms, and each creator's standing in the community all factor in too. Twitch stats are current as of July 17, 2026, and the order runs from sixth to first.
- Platforms: Twitch, YouTube
- Numbers: around 1.17 million Twitch followers; 39,717 hours watched and an average of 384 viewers over the last 30 days; around 1.69 million YouTube subscribers
- Key facts: running his channel since the FIFA 12 days; one of the longest-active Ultimate Team creators; specializes in squad building, pack openings, and club progression
Bateson87 no longer puts up the live numbers the rest on this
leaderboarddo, but his total reach still ranks among the biggest in the category. Over a million Twitch followers and nearly 1.7 million YouTube subscribers are the result of more than a decade of consistent content across every FIFA and EA Sports FC release.
His streams stick to the most classic Ultimate Team formula. Bateson builds expensive squads, opens packs, tests new promos, and runs series built around upgrading his team. He's no longer the channel setting the pace for the whole category, but he remains one of its most recognizable faces. For viewers who've followed the series for years, Bateson is still a fixture of every season.
His current Twitch viewership sits outside the category's top 10, but his cross-platform reach and long-standing influence still make him one of FC 26's biggest active creators.
- Platforms: Twitch, YouTube
- Numbers: over a million Twitch followers; 93,210 hours watched and an average of 775 viewers over the last 30 days
- Key facts: British streamer and longtime football content creator; mixes EA FC 26 with football watchalongs, conversations with viewers, and other games
Pieface23 doesn't build his whole channel around EA Sports FC 26, and that variety is exactly what helped him grow one of the biggest communities among British football
streamers. His broadcasts move freely between Ultimate Team and FUT Champions, watchalongs, football chat, and looser sessions with other games.
McDermott isn't trying to come across as a market expert or a competitive player. What matters is personality, chat interaction, and reacting to whatever's happening in the match or the pack opening. That turns even a routine Weekend League night into something closer to watching a game with friends. A following past a million and nearly 100,000 hours watched over the last month show the format still works.
- Platforms: Twitch, YouTube
- Numbers: around 1.05 million Twitch followers; 109,008 hours watched; an average of 2,247 viewers and a peak of 8,751 over the last 30 days
- Key facts: also known as NickRTFM; specializes in the Ultimate Team market, card analysis, and commentary on EA's decisions; also produces real football content
RunTheFUTMarket built his reputation around something most streamers never turned into a full format. Instead of focusing purely on packs and Weekend League results, Nick spent years explaining how the Ultimate Team market actually works, tracking price shifts, and calling which cards were about to gain or lose value.
His channel has grown broader than the name suggests. Bartels still tests new cards and breaks down FUT's economy, but he talks about real football more and more often too. He watches matches and doesn't hold back when it comes to criticizing problems with each new EA Sports FC release. That willingness to call out flaws builds credibility with viewers who don't want a channel that blindly hypes every new pack.
Over a million followers puts him among the biggest channels in the category, and an average above 2,200 viewers shows that his audience remains active rather than simply reflecting years of accumulated followers. RunTheFUTMarket remains one of the few creators who can turn the community's attention toward a specific card, mechanic, or problem.
- Platform: Twitch
- Numbers: around 176,000 followers; over 160,000 hours watched and an average of around 1,100 viewers over the last 30 days
- Key facts: 2023 ePremier League champion; experienced EA Sports FC competitive player; joined FUTBIN Esports in July 2026 as a player, creator, and ambassador
Stokes has far fewer followers than most creators on this list, but his current viewership outpaces plenty of channels with a following in the millions. His consistent streaming schedule helped him generate the third-highest hours-watched total in the FC 26 category during the period examined.
His edge comes from combining two different strengths. Stokes runs a loose, chat-driven stream, but he also carries the experience of competing at the professional level. Winning an ePremier League title means the settings, formations, and in-match decisions he talks about aren't just theory repeated from other creators.
His channel gets the most value from Weekend League broadcasts, settings tests, and breakdowns viewers can actually apply to their own games. He doesn't have the reach of Danny Aarons or AuzioMF yet, but in terms of consistency and current audience interest, he's one of the biggest winners of the FC 26 cycle's final stretch.
- Platforms: Twitch, YouTube
- Numbers: around 673,000 Twitch followers; 449,973 hours watched; an average of 3,054 viewers and a peak above 10,500 over the last 30 days; around 952,000 YouTube subscribers
- Key facts: one of the biggest English-language FC creators; specializes in card reviews, tactics, FUT Champions, and Ultimate Team content
AuzioMF has a smaller Twitch following than several creators ranked below him, but his current numbers are on a different level entirely. Over the last 30 days he was the second most-watched EA Sports FC 26 streamer, trailing only Danny Aarons. Close to 450,000 hours watched is nearly triple what third-place Stokes put up.
Faria has built a format that balances entertainment with actual utility. He regularly tests new cards, breaks down tactics, plays FUT Champions, and reacts to each new promo. His content is especially useful when a viewer wants to know whether an expensive SBC or a new card is actually worth it, rather than just looking good in the menu.
His broadcast frequency matters too. Auzio spent nearly 150 hours live over the period examined while holding an average above 3,000 viewers. This isn't a total inflated by one tournament or a single event. His audience keeps coming back, whether the topic is FUT Champions, a new promo, or just squad building.
- Platforms: Twitch, YouTube, TikTok
- Numbers: around 1.12 million Twitch followers; 505,625 hours watched; an average of 5,221 viewers and a peak of 14,587 over the last 30 days; around 1.94 million subscribers on his main YouTube channel
- Key facts: the most-watched FC 26 streamer over the last 30 days; content built around Ultimate Team, challenges, watchalongs, and football entertainment
DannyAarons' spot at the top is easy to defend. It's a bit like trying to argue Real Madrid isn't the greatest club in Champions League history. He leads the category in both hours watched and average viewers. Over the last 30 days his broadcasts pulled in more than half a million hours watched, with an average north of 5,200 viewers. No other FC 26 creator matched that scale with the same consistency over the same stretch.
His success isn't built on being a market expert or a competitive record. Aarons treats Ultimate Team as a source of storylines and big moments. Squad building, pack openings, off-the-wall challenges, and reactions to whatever's happening are all presented in a way that can hook viewers who aren't tracking every move in the FUT market.
His reach beyond Twitch helps too. His main YouTube channel is closing in on two million subscribers, and every format eventually gets cut into videos and shorter clips, so a broadcast doesn't just end when the stream goes offline.
DannyAarons isn't just the FIFA creator known for loud reactions anymore. He's built a wide entertainment brand around football and sports games, and his current FC 26 viewership shows that branching out hasn't cost him his grip on the category he started in.
