Understanding Twitch Partner Requirements
Becoming a Twitch Partner is a significant milestone that unlocks exclusive features, better revenue splits, and professional recognition. However, the path to Partnership requires meeting specific metrics and maintaining consistent growth. This guide explains the requirements and how to track your progress effectively.
The Path to Partner Achievement
Twitch uses the "Path to Partner" achievement system to track eligibility. To unlock the ability to apply for Partnership, you must meet all three requirements within a rolling 30-day window:
| Requirement | Target | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Stream Hours | 25 hours | Easy - Achievable with consistent streaming |
| Unique Stream Days | 12 days | Easy - About 3 streams per week |
| Average Concurrent Viewers | 75 viewers | Hard - The main challenge for most streamers |
Meeting the Path to Partner requirements makes you eligible to apply, but acceptance isn't guaranteed. Twitch reviews applications based on content quality, community guidelines compliance, growth trajectory, and overall channel health. According to Twitch's official Partner documentation, the review process considers factors beyond the numerical requirements.
Why 75 Average Viewers Is the Real Challenge
The stream hours and unique days requirements are achievable through consistency alone. Streaming 3-4 times per week for 2-3 hours easily meets both metrics. However, the 75 average concurrent viewer requirement is where most streamers struggle.
According to data from TwitchTracker, the median Twitch channel has 1-3 average viewers. Only about 1-2% of all Twitch streamers maintain 75+ average viewers. This makes the viewer requirement the primary bottleneck for Partnership qualification.
Strategies for growing your average viewership include:
- Category optimization - Choosing games with favorable viewer-to-streamer ratios (see our Twitch Categories guide)
- Schedule consistency - Streaming at the same times helps viewers know when to find you (use our Stream Schedule Analyzer)
- Network building - Raiding, collaborating, and community engagement (see our Twitch Raids guide)
- Content quality - Investing in production value, entertainment, and unique content angles
- Extension engagement - Using interactive tools to increase viewer retention (see Best Extensions for Growth)
Partner vs Partner Plus
Once you achieve Partnership, there's an additional tier called Partner Plus that offers enhanced benefits. According to Twitch's Plus Program documentation, this program provides a 70% subscription revenue share (compared to the standard 50%) for qualifying Partners.
Partner Plus requirements:
- Maintain 350 or more recurring paid subscriptions
- Sustain this level for 3 consecutive months
- Only paid subscriptions count (no gift subs or Prime)
Partner Plus is evaluated monthly. Once you qualify and maintain the threshold, the 70% revenue share applies to all subscription revenue for that month.
Using This Tracker Effectively
This tool helps you understand exactly where you stand in your Partner journey. Here's how to get the most value:
- Track weekly - Update your metrics weekly to see growth trends and identify areas needing focus
- Be realistic with growth rates - Use your actual weekly growth averages for accurate projections
- Focus on the bottleneck - If you're hitting hours and days but not viewers, concentrate growth efforts there
- Consider the 30-day window - Remember that all metrics must be met simultaneously within a rolling 30-day period
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the requirements to become a Twitch Partner?
To become a Twitch Partner, you must complete the Path to Partner achievement: stream for 25 hours, stream on 12 unique days, and maintain an average of 75 concurrent viewers—all within a 30-day period. Meeting these requirements makes you eligible to apply, but acceptance isn't guaranteed as Twitch reviews each application individually.
How long does it take to become a Twitch Partner?
The timeline varies widely based on content, consistency, and growth strategies. Some streamers reach Partner requirements within 6-12 months of dedicated streaming, while others take several years. The average concurrent viewer requirement (75 viewers) is typically the most challenging metric to achieve and the main factor determining timeline.
What is Partner Plus and what are its requirements?
Partner Plus is an enhanced revenue tier that gives qualifying Partners a 70% subscription revenue share instead of the standard 50%. To qualify, Partners must maintain 350 or more recurring paid subscriptions (not including gift subs or Prime subs) for at least 3 consecutive months.
Can I lose my Twitch Partner status?
Yes, Twitch can revoke Partner status for violating Terms of Service, Community Guidelines, or the Partner Agreement. Extended periods of inactivity can also result in status review. However, simply having lower viewership than when you qualified won't automatically remove Partner status.
Is the 75 average viewer requirement the hardest to achieve?
For most streamers, yes. The 75 average concurrent viewers requirement is typically the most challenging metric. Meeting the hour and day requirements is straightforward with consistency, but growing to 75+ average viewers requires building a dedicated community, optimizing content, and effective discoverability strategies.
