The 10 most popular YouTubers in 2026: top 10 most-subscribed channels

By Tom NewmanJanuary 28, 202613 mins read

Here’s a list of the top 10 most-subscribed YouTube channels of all-time, as of January 2026, ranging from 122 to 464 million subscribers.

In June 2024, MrBeast took the top spot on the list of the channels with the most-subscribers. Previously the most subscribed individual, MrBeast was beaten by Indian brand channel T-Series. Renowned for its extensive collection of Bollywood music and film clips, T-Series claimed the top spot in April 2019 after overtaking PewDiePie. Swedish web comedian and Let’s Player PewDiePie, who now sits outside of the top ten, still just about holds the record for the most time spent at number one, with 1,920 days or over 5 years.

Not only did MrBeast overtake T-Series in 2024, but in doing so saw a huge jump in new subscribers. MrBeast has seen very impressive growth in recent years and it’s hard to see him giving up his spot at number one any time soon.

Since last updating the list in January last year, Stokes Twins have climbed from tenth position to seventh, with 136 million subscribers. There’s also a new entry at number nine from Korean channel 김프로KIMPRO, who has knocked the previous most-subscribed creator, PewDiePie, off the top ten.
