The inaugural weekend of TwitchCon in Las Vegas concluded on Sunday, October 22, marking an extraordinary gathering of streamers from around the globe. Nearly 3.5K individual channels went live to cover the event, resulting in millions of hours of watch time each day. Notably, the viewership on Saturday alone surpassed the entire watch time of TwitchCon Paris 2023.

One of the most significant revelations to emerge from TwitchCon was the platform's decision to allow streamers to simulcast on multiple platforms, enabling them to broaden their audience and expand their brand. Additionally, the event featured various community highlights, including proposals, marriages, and more.

TwitchCon Las Vegas 2023 Viewership Statistics

Across the multitude of channels that provided live coverage of TwitchCon Las Vegas 2023, the event accumulated a total of 5.91 million hours watched. By comparison, TwitchCon Paris earlier in the year featured 1.2K channels and garnered 2 million hours watched.

English-language broadcasts constituted a substantial 81% of the event's viewership. Although German-language broadcasts were the second most popular on the first day, Portuguese-language streams gained popularity as the event progressed, accounting for 7.1% of the total watch time.

As expected, given the event's location in the United States, English-language broadcasts were predominant. Among the top 5 nationalities of streamers, English-speaking countries were highly represented, with the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Mexico, and Australia leading the way.

Analyzing channels by their average viewers, the majority fell within the 0-50 average viewers bracket. Towards the end of the event, only 38 channels boasted more than 5,001 average viewers. Let's delve into the most popular channels among these top 38.

Top Channels of TwitchCon Las Vegas 2023

EsfandTV emerged as the most-watched creator of the entire event, amassing 358.7K hours watched. While not the most popular creator at the event, EsfandTV achieved the highest watch time by streaming both during the day and night.

JenFoxxx secured the second spot, with over 300K hours watched, primarily driven by her 7.5-hour broadcast on the first day of the event. As the event progressed, her broadcasts became shorter, impacting her overall watch time.

The official Twitch broadcasting channel occupied the middle position among the top 5, delivering daily coverage of events, discussions, and official announcements from Twitch. Notably, community-hosted game shows were a highlight on the official channel.

In fourth place was Knut, who gained significant viewership by live-streaming his marriage proposal, reaching 172K hours watched and 41.8K peak viewers. Knut's success was further amplified by raids from community members.

Nmplol rounded out the top 5 most-watched creators, hosting road trip broadcasts and a special racing stream on his way to TwitchCon. These unique broadcasts garnered more attention than his actual TwitchCon coverage, although he still enjoyed a significant viewership.

Mizkif and AustinShow were the most popular creators of the event, thanks to their game shows hosted live at TwitchCon. These events were also streamed on the official Twitch channel and drew a substantial audience.

Additionally, the popular Mexican streamer Quackity garnered significant viewership with a brief hour-long broadcast on his secondary channel, QuackityToo.

TwitchCon Las Vegas 2023 Dynamics

Viewership analysis on a daily basis revealed that Saturday was the most influential day, with 2.2 million hours watched. Friday and Sunday saw comparable watch times, but Sunday had 1,000 fewer hours of airtime compared to Friday.

While viewership increased throughout the weekend, the number of live channels followed an opposite trajectory, peaking on Friday and decreasing on Saturday and Sunday. Some prominent streamers chose to take a break on Sunday, preferring to enjoy the event rather than broadcasting.

TwitchCon Las Vegas 2023 stood out as one of the year's premier live-streaming events for Twitch, offering channels the opportunity to collaborate, grow, and network within a concentrated space. While household-name streamers dominated viewership and top channels, many attending streamers experienced a significant upswing in viewership during the event.

As TwitchCon Las Vegas unfolds, it continues to capture increasing attention and viewership. The second day of the event witnessed a surge, accumulating a staggering 2.2 million hours of viewership, with even more channels going live compared to the first day.

As the weekend progressed, notable figures in the livestreaming industry joined the event, contributing significantly to its viewership. Additionally, a slew of special events were scheduled throughout the weekend, with some of these events dominating the list of top channels for the day.

TwitchCon Las Vegas 2023 Saturday Top Channels

The official Twitch channel claimed the top spot for the day, amassing 120.9K hours of viewership. This channel remained live for most of the day, hosting various segments and events at the convention. Notably, the community game shows hosted by industry luminaries proved to be a major draw.

AustinShow's "Name Your Price" game show was the first to grace the Twitch broadcast, with the platform's official channel reaching a peak of 25K viewers during this segment. AustinShow himself enjoyed substantial viewership for the gameshow, peaking at 48.7K viewers on his personal channel, securing him the second position in terms of peak viewers for the day.

This special TwitchCon edition of the game show featured an ensemble cast of well-known streamers, including HasanAbi, Jerma985, pokimane, and GeorgeNotFound. A noteworthy boost in AustinShow's viewership came when EsfandTV raided the channel, bringing in 16.5K viewers. However, despite its popularity, this event was not the most-watched show of the day.

"Schooled" by OTK, a quiz-style gameshow hosted by Mizkif, aimed to test streamers on their knowledge in a school-themed setting. This game show emerged as the day's most popular event, with Mizkif being the most-watched streamer, reaching a peak of 75.6K viewers. Notably, Twitch's official channel also achieved its peak viewership of 33.5K during its broadcast of the game show.

The remaining ranks were occupied by familiar faces such as Nmplol, JenFoxxx, and JonVlogs, all of whom have featured in our previous TwitchCon coverage. Nmplol leveraged the presence of other community members on his channel, consolidating the viewership of various communities.

The final streamer on the list was HoneyPuu, a German IRL streamer. German content creators have garnered significant viewership at TwitchCon, constituting 7% of Saturday's total watch time. HoneyPuu benefited from featuring other German creators on her channel, with her exploration of Las Vegas proving highly popular with her audience.

Jinnytty secured the third spot by hours watched for the day and claimed fifth place by peak viewers. The Korean creator dedicated nearly 9 hours to exploring the convention, engaging with fellow streamers and fans. She reached a peak of 6.5K viewers during the day, maintaining remarkably stable viewership with an average of 5.4K viewers. Although her viewership figures may have been lower than some, her commitment to a full day of streaming earned her an impressive 47.9K hours watched.

AMOURANTH also enjoyed significant popularity at the event, achieving a peak viewership of 19.4K during her shorter streams throughout the day. Despite her relatively shorter streaming duration compared to others on the list, her dedicated fanbase contributed to the accumulation of 44.1K hours watched in a brief period.

ExtraEmily is the final streamer in focus, receiving 33.5K hours watched for her casual streams of the event. Her peak of 19K viewers was notably augmented by a raid from zackrawrr, better known as Asmongold, with ExtraEmily welcoming 16.9K viewers as a result of the raid. Although not all these viewers remained, it significantly bolstered her peak viewership for the day.
