T1 Tops April 2026 Esports Viewership With 11.68M Hours

T1 logged 11.68 million hours watched (HW) in April 2026 to lead global esports viewership for the month. The League of Legends organization finished just ahead of Counter-Strike 2 side Team Vitality.

Teams from three titles-League of Legends, Counter-Strike 2 and Mobile Legends: Bang Bang-each had at least one roster exceed 10 million hours watched in April. Team Vitality placed second after eight matches across two tournaments and won both events it entered. Vitality recorded higher peak concurrent viewership than T1 on several broadcasts, though its total hours fell short of T1’s aggregate.

Indonesian Mobile Legends club RRQ Hoshi stood out as an audience driver during MPL Indonesia Season 17. The event drew more than 2 million concurrent viewers while RRQ Hoshi went through a seven-match losing run.

T1’s April schedule included nine matches, the most among the top three teams on the month’s list. The team opened the LCK season with a match against KT Rolster-a repeat of the 2025 World Championship final-that reached more than 823,000 peak viewers. After an early loss in that fixture, T1 recorded two more defeats before finishing April with a four-match winning streak.

The most-watched game in T1’s nine-match run was the meeting with Dplus KIA, which peaked at 964,325 viewers.

At the close of Week 5 of the LCK 2026 regular season, T1 held a 6–4 record and sat fourth in the standings. Gen.G was third at 7–3, while KT Rolster and Hanwha Life Esports occupied the top two positions.

The hours watched metric aggregates viewership across live broadcasts and streamed match coverage. T1’s April totals reflect its LCK appearances and related broadcasts; the team is scheduled to balance ongoing LCK commitments with participation in the League of Legends at Esports World Cup 2026 Korea Qualifier in May.
