Esports Charts: The Scoreboard Behind the Scoreboard
Esports Charts considers esports at the tournament level rather than on individual streams. The ongoing tournaments and live matches are visible right from the home page, and the database for 2026 consists of 11,596 tournaments in 87 disciplines with a total prize pool of more than $158 million. At the same time, you are able to view several streams simultaneously via the Multi-Stream Player.
Fans of mobile disciplines find it most convenient to start with the section where the esports viewership tracker compiles a separate rating of mobile games. It can be sorted by prize pool, peak audience, or the number of ongoing tournaments. Here it is clearly visible how mobile esports has grown: in 2026, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang leads all disciplines in peak viewers with a result of 5,680,304, ahead of Counter-Strike and League of Legends.
| Game | Prize pool in 2026 | Peak viewers | Date of peak |
| PUBG Mobile | $8,939,572 | 1,791,774 | Aug 16 |
| Honor of Kings | $7,894,575 | 777,965 | Aug 8 |
| Free Fire | $3,808,573 | 804,934 | Jul 18 |
| Arena of Valor | $1,637,339 | 773,481 | |
| Battlegrounds Mobile India | $1,065,844 | 728,713 | Jun 21 |
| Brawl Stars | $351,228 | 239,440 | May 17 |
Money and public attention obey different laws, and a generous prize season does not guarantee a high peak at all. However, for serious analytics, the free showcase is not enough: a breakdown of peaks by languages and platforms, as well as the top 5 matches and teams of each tournament, is unlocked by the PRO subscription for $29.99 per month. Teams and organizers are offered separate Events Dashboards and Teams Dashboards.
Streams Charts: Following the Co-Streamers
Streams Charts, unlike Esports Charts, operates at the level of individual channels. This is important because more and more viewers watch matches with their favorite streamer rather than on the official channel. According to Esports Charts, in the third quarter of 2026, co-streaming grew by 19.7%, while official broadcasts were losing audience.
The service tracks over 61 million channels on Twitch, Kick, YouTube Live, and a dozen other platforms, both in real time and historically. In the PRO version, audience retention, platform comparison on a single dashboard, and CSV export are added, and statistics for one specific channel can be unlocked starting at $9 per month. By the way, links to Twitch statistics in the Esports Charts game ranking lead right here.
Hatchet: Who Is Watching, Not Just How Many
Hatchet is the former Stream Hatchet, which GameSquare renamed and expanded into creator marketing analytics at the end of August 2026. The database contains over 55 million creators from 32 platforms, including TikTok, and data history spans more than ten years. It is used by Riot, EA, Ubisoft, and Capcom.
For the tournament market, Hatchet is valuable because, behind the viewing figures, people are visible: demographics, chat reactions, and comparisons with past events are gathered in one place. Prices are not listed on the website, and access is arranged through a demo. In other words, it is a tool for the organizer with a report for the sponsor, rather than for a fan who needs the peak of the grand final.
TwitchTracker: A Free Pulse Check With Blind Spots
TwitchTracker is free and ranks games by the average number of concurrent viewers over the last seven days. It also shows peaks, watch hours, the number of channels, and each game’s share of Twitch traffic. For a quick check of a major tournament on this platform, such a set is quite sufficient.
The service’s blind spot is obvious: it sees only Twitch. For mobile esports, this is critical, considering that YouTube provides the main audience for MPL Indonesia, and TikTok Live increases its share of watch hours season after season. Anyway, the free tracker is suitable for a quick check, but not for conclusions about the entire tournament.
Numbers That Need a Second Look
Before drawing conclusions about any tracker, you should understand what exactly it counts:
- Peak viewers reflect the maximum concurrent viewers, which usually occurs during the final;
- Average viewers show how much of an audience the broadcast held throughout the entire stream;
- Watch hours grow along with the duration of the broadcast, so a dragged-out tournament gains them even without audience growth;
- The share of co-streams indicates where the audience is sitting, but not the number of unique tournament viewers.
That is why tournaments should be compared by a single metric and within a single tool. Furthermore, service data diverge, since each accounts for its own set of platforms and channels. Thus, an accurate picture emerges only when cross-checking multiple sources.
The Final Count
Esports Charts provides the overall picture of the tournament, Streams Charts breaks it down by channels, Hatchet explains who is behind the figures, and TwitchTracker covers free checks. For mobile esports with its YouTube, TikTok, and army of co-streamers, a single counter is obviously not enough. The more sources you cross-check, the closer the figure on the screen is to the real number of fans.
