About This Dataset
Most Followed YouTube Channels 2026
YouTube channels ranked by total subscriber count in 2026 according to SocialBlade and YouTube Analytics data. MrBeast has become the most subscribed individual creator in YouTube history — surpassing T-Series in late 2023 and continuing to extend his lead through a content strategy built on high-production-value challenge videos, philanthropic spectacles, and aggressive localisation into Spanish, Hindi, Portuguese, and Arabic that has made him one of the most recognised media personalities on Earth in markets where English-language creators historically could not build audiences.
