The American livestreamer beat Jynxzi, CaseOh and other nominees, while also winning Best IRL Streamer and Best Streamed Series.
IShowSpeed wins Streamer of the Year for the third consecutive year, leading his three-award haul at the 2026 Streamer Awards. The ceremony took place in Los Angeles on Thursday, November 12.

IShowSpeed wins top honour and delivers Indonesian speech
Fellow streamer Quackity announced the award at the sixth annual ceremony. During his acceptance speech, IShowSpeed addressed the audience entirely in Bahasa Indonesia, thanking supporters for their role in his journey.
The language choice followed his September 2024 livestreaming tour through Jakarta, Bali and Yogyakarta. That visit helped build his connection with Indonesian audiences, alongside his wider international following.
Beyond the headline award, he also won Best IRL Streamer and Best Streamed Series for his World Cup Tour. His content spans gaming, travel and energetic interactions with fans. Meanwhile, his real-life broadcasts and global tours have expanded his audience beyond viewers who primarily follow gaming streams.
Kai Cenat joins three-award winners
IShowSpeed shared the three-award milestone with Kai Cenat, Katie B and Vanillamace, placing them among the evening’s biggest winners. Cenat took home League of Their Own and Best Mainstream Collaboration for his work with singer Tyla. He also won Best Streamed Event for the second season of Streamer University.
Meanwhile, Jynxzi secured Gamer of the Year after competing for the night’s top honour. Quackity, who announced IShowSpeed’s victory, also received the Legacy Award.
QTCinderella and Caroline Kwan hosted the ceremony, which brought together prominent names in online entertainment. The awards recognised achievements across the streaming industry, including gaming, real-life broadcasts, collaborations, streamed series and live events.
