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 July 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.
Since we last updated this list earlier this year, MrBeast has entered the top ten, straight in at number six, highlighting his impressive growth. Other popular creators like Stokes Twins from the most subscribed list don’t make an appearance on this list. 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.
MrBeast’s entry pushes Zee TV off the top ten. 김프로KIMPRO has risen in the top ten list from eighth to fourth position. Sony SAB, ✿ Kids Diana Show, Vlad and Niki, Like Nastya, and Toys and Colors have all dropped positions.
