Kai Cenat has passed Ninja to become the second most followed streamer on Twitch, hitting the milestone during his third and final Mathiathon.
Mathiathon 3 has been another historic event for Cenat, as he has set his sights on being the first streamer to reach 1 million Twitch subscribers. With more than half the month still remaining, he has already amassed nearly 440,000 active subs, putting him on pace to set another benchmark for the platform.
The most followed spot on Twitch has long been a symbol of dominance on the site. Ninja first rose to the top during Fortnite’s global peak, but Ibai eventually surpassed him and has held the lead ever since. Cenat’s climb into second place pushes Ninja into third for the first time.
Kai Cenat bumps Ninja out of second most followed spot
As of September 2025, Ibai leads Twitch with about 19.76 million followers. Cenat now holds around 19.27 million, just ahead of Ninja’s 19.23 million. The surge came in the middle of Mathiathon 3, where Cenat’s marathon-style broadcast once again delivered a massive wave of growth.
Cenat’s latest milestone leaves him less than half a million followers away from Ibai at the top. With Mathiathon 3 still underway and his channel growing rapidly, first place now looks to be within his reach if the momentum continues through the rest of September.
