Ibai hosts record-breaking stream for the third year in a row, breaking the Twitch record for most concurrent viewers by a huge margin.
For the third consecutive year, Ibai's La Velada del Año has set a new stream viewership record on Twitch. The Spanish content creator's boxing event sold out Real Madrid's stadium and peaked at over 3.8 million viewers on Twitch.
Ibai is now responsible for the top three most-viewed Twitch streams of all time. The fourth entry on the list falls almost a million viewers short of Ibai's third-place record stream.
A star-studded event sells out the Santiago Bernabéu
Ibai's event, La Velada del Año, fittingly translates to "The Night of Year". It pitches some of the world's biggest content creators against each other in multiple live boxing matches. This year's fourth edition of Ibai's La Velada sold out the Santiago Bernabéu's full capacity of over 80 thousand in under an hour.
The Spanish stadium is home to Real Madrid and a sacred ground recognized by football fans everywhere. Over the years, it's hosted countless legendary matches, including finals for UEFA's Champions League, Euros, and the FIFA World Cup.
In addition to content creators with massive followings, Ibai's record-breaking stream also featured several famous musicians. Notably, Will Smith surprised viewers with a performance at the event. Arguably more shocking was when Spanish national team players Marc Cucurella and Nico Williams joined him on stage. The two footballers were living it up while having to play in the Euro 2024 final less than 24 hours later.
