Top 10 most-viewed YouTube channels in 2026
For this list we’re delving into the YouTube channels with the most views across all of their videos, as of February 2026.
Often when comparing the ten most popular YouTube channels, people look at subscribers for a ranking. Today we’re diving into the most popular based on the number of views they have across all of their videos. This method favors creators who focus on quantity, hence why many of the below are major brands, such as T-Series, Cocomelon, and Sony.
The top ten most viewed differs from the most-subscribed. The most-subscribed YouTuber MrBeast, as well as other solo creators like Stokes Twins don’t make an appearance on this top ten. While each video from these creators may on average receive more views per video, they are unable to compete with the sheer number of videos put out by brand channels, such as T-Series, who account for more views overall.
We last looked at this list back last year. The top seven positions stay the same, but 김프로KIMPRO enters the list at number eight, replacing WWE. Toys and Colors rises a space to number nine, while Zee TV drops a couple of places to number ten.
