MrBeast is still the most-subscribed channel on YouTube, and it isn’t close: 522 million subscribers, about 206 million more than No. 2 T-Series, according to Wikipedia’s list of the most-subscribed channels, as of Oct 19, 2026.
We used that one list for every number below so the ranking is consistent. We read it on Oct 19, 2026. Counts are rounded to the nearest million, the way the list shows them.

MrBeast’s lead, in numbers
MrBeast has held No. 1 since June 2, 2024, when he passed T-Series. That run is 869 days and counting. When he took the top spot he tweeted that his fans had “avenged” PewDiePie, Wikipedia notes.
He crossed 500 million subscribers on June 12, 2026, and has added about 22 million more since, based on the same page.
He’s still growing fast. Tubefilter’s weekly chart for Oct 5–11 had him as the biggest gainer on its top-50 chart, with 2 million new subscribers in seven days.
Wait, where’s PewDiePie?
PewDiePie, the channel that used to fight T-Series for the top spot, is now No. 14 with 109 million on the same list.
Why the numbers don’t match everywhere
Trackers update at different times and round differently. Tubefilter’s chart, using data from GospelStats, lists MrBeast at 521 million, while Wikipedia shows 522 million. Both put him at No. 1 by a mile.
The gap between No. 1 and No. 2 (206 million) is bigger than the entire subscriber count of any channel ranked No. 3 or lower. Cocomelon, at No. 3, has 203 million.
What happens next
We’ll update this ranking every month. The spot to watch is the bottom of the top 10, where Alejo Igoa (124M) sits just ahead of Zee Music Company (123M) at No. 11.
