How it works
We track a list of the largest channels on YouTube and refresh their public statistics every few hours. Subscriber counts are rounded by YouTube to three significant figures, so channels with close counts may appear tied. Channels that hide their subscriber count are excluded.
Frequently asked questions
Who is the most subscribed YouTuber?
The top of the table shows the current leader, with counts pulled live from the YouTube Data API.
Is every channel on YouTube included?
No — YouTube has no public “top channels” API, so we track a curated list of the largest channels. If one is missing, tell us via the contact page.
