This ranking features the top games on Twitch by total hours watched. The ranking can be filtered on both esports hours and total overall hours for both platforms. Esports hours consists of content from professionally organized esports competitions and does not include individual (pro-player) streams. This content combined with consumer content makes up the total hours watched.

Esports channels (channels that exclusively stream esports content) are tagged using a combination of machine learning algorithms and manual verification by our analysts.

The ranking is generated by Newzoo’s Game Streaming Tracker, which continuously tracks live viewing and streaming behavior across Twitch.
