How this ranking works
We track 288 of the largest YouTube channels and pull their public subscriber, view and video counts from the YouTube Data API every few hours. Channels are sorted by subscribers; ties (YouTube rounds public counts) are broken by total views. Nothing is estimated — if YouTube shows 331M on the channel page, you see 331M here.

Frequently asked questions
Which education & science channel has the most subscribers on YouTube?
Mark Rober is currently #1 with about 84.3 million subscribers, based on public YouTube counts refreshed every few hours.
Where does this ranking data come from?
Subscriber, view and video counts come from the public YouTube Data API and are refreshed every few hours. We do not estimate or adjust the numbers — they are the same public counts YouTube shows on each channel page.
Why are subscriber counts rounded?
YouTube only exposes rounded subscriber counts publicly (three significant figures above 1,000 subscribers). A channel with 331,400,000 subscribers is shown as 331 million. Two channels with the same rounded count are ordered by total views.
Which channels are included?
We track a curated pool of 288 of the largest YouTube channels across music, entertainment, kids, gaming, education, sports and news, in many countries. Channels that hide their subscriber count are excluded because they cannot be ranked. If you think a large channel is missing, contact us and we will add it.
