Best time to stream Counter-Strike

▲ Trending on Twitch this week

When do Counter-Strike viewers outnumber Counter-Strike streamers? The heatmap below compares hourly viewer demand with live-channel competition — the brighter a cell glows, the better your odds of getting discovered. Gold is prime time; dark violet means you'd be streaming into the void.

Times shown in UTC.

The strongest window for Counter-Strike is Sunday at 18:00 UTC: about 115.2K viewers across 6.8 live channels, or 17.1K viewers per channel. That is 3 times the weekly average of 5.6K viewers per channel, so a stream in that hour competes with fewer channels for each viewer.

The next best windows are Friday at 19:00 UTC (16.3K viewers per channel) and Sunday at 17:00 UTC (15.4K viewers per channel). All times in this summary are UTC.

How long do Counter-Strike streams take to peak?

Median concurrent viewers by hour into the stream across tracked Counter-Strike channels — viewership typically peaks in hour 4. Streams shorter than that often end before their audience arrives.

How to use these Counter-Strike numbers

Viewers per channel is a ratio, not a promise. An hour with a small audience and even fewer live channels can score well, so switch the heatmap to Viewers before you plan around a quiet hour: a high ratio built on a small audience still means a small audience. Competition shows the other side, the hours when the most Counter-Strike channels are live at once.

Treat the top windows as a starting point for a test rather than a rule. Stream your usual Counter-Strike content in one of them for two or three weeks and compare your average viewers with your current slot. The numbers are rebuilt every night from the last 28 days, so the windows follow the audience as it shifts.

How this is measured

Based on hourly concurrent-viewer samples of 59 tracked Counter-Strike channels on Twitch over the last 28 days (2,725 samples). Cells observed on fewer than 2 distinct days show as “no data” — a sampling gap is not the same as an empty timeslot. Numbers describe the channels we track, not all of Twitch, and skew toward established streamers.
