IShowSpeed has become the first streamer in history to win The Streamer Awards three consecutive times, edging past Jynxzi, CaseOh, Stable Ronaldo, and Joe Bartolozzi to take home this year’s trophy.
Speed’s streak began in 2024, when he beat Kai Cenat and Emiru to claim his first title. After securing his second victory in December 2025, he returned to Los Angeles this November as the favorite.
Alongside being crowned the Streamer of the Year, Speed was also named the Best IRL Streamer in the event, and his World Cup Tour earned him the Best Streamed Series award. As a result, the 21-year-old walked away with three awards at The Streamer Awards 2026.
When taking the stage to accept his third consecutive Streamer of the Year award, Speed surprised the entire room by delivering his acceptance speech entirely in Indonesian.
“I started from zero, just a little kid with a big dream,” Speed said, according to a rough translation. “You guys have been with me from the beginning. You’re not just fans. You’re my family. I won’t stop. I’ll keep fighting for you all. I love you all.”
After finishing his speech, he also celebrated with his signature backflip while holding the trophy.
Kai Cenat also had a big night at The Streamer Awards, winning three awards of his own, including Best Streamed Event for Streamer University, Best Mainstream Collab for his work with Tyla, and the League of Their Own award. Cenat wasn’t nominated for Streamer of the Year this time, so Speed’s win didn’t come at his expense. Cenat had even said ahead of the ceremony that Speed deserved it.

Speed could also be on the verge of another Streamer of the Year streak at the Esports Awards, where he won in 2025 and is nominated again this month. Should he win there as well, Speed could add yet another trophy to the list before the year ends.
