IShowSpeed won Streamer of the Year at the 2026 Streamer Awards. The organizers confirmed it in a Reel after Thursday’s Los Angeles ceremony, and the winner list published by EkSukoon also puts him at the top. If your feed is serving you two different winners with “streamer” in the title, there’s a simple explanation. The show handed out more than one kind of award. 🏆
Speed won the headline award
The official post identifies the prize as Streamer of the Year, presented by YouTube. It’s the same award Speed won at the 2025 ceremony. The organizer’s new Reel showed about 13,500 likes when checked Friday morning Eastern. That number comes from the award announcement on Instagram. The ceremony’s livestream and other clips have their own audiences and their own numbers.
The creators had a separate pick
In a different Reel, the organizer named Super the winner of the Streamer Choice Award and described the choice as coming from creators themselves. Keeping those labels straight matters. One post tells you who received the show’s headline honor, and the other tells you who received the creator-selected award. Both are part of the same night.
There were also categories that narrow the focus to specific communities. NewsMinecraft reported that Katie B won Best Minecraft Streamer. Her award gives Minecraft viewers a result they can follow without having to sift through a recap of the whole show.
