Five days at Hendrix College in Conway, Arkansas — over a hundred streamers, one graduation ceremony, 27 awards, and a Twitch peak of 731,000 concurrent viewers. Streamer University 2026 is officially wrapped, and Kai Cenat has already teased where SU 2027 is headed.
Five Days at Hendrix College
Streamer University 2026 — also referred to as SU2 — ran July 14–19, 2026 at Hendrix College in Conway, Arkansas. Hosted by dean Kai Cenat, the event brought together over a hundred student streamers and professor mentors for five days of live content, classes, and competitions streamed simultaneously on Twitch and YouTube.
The final graduation day broadcast peaked at 731,000 concurrent viewers on Twitch, making it one of the most-watched non-gaming events on the platform in 2026. The event crossed over into mainstream sports coverage, with Kai Cenat previously streaming at the FIFA World Cup and performing alongside global creators at the YouTube × FIFA Creator Cup.

Best Professor
Ludwig
Ludwig taught multiple classes covering brand deals, revenue, and creator growth strategy. In his acceptance speech he recalled Kai convincing him to join despite hesitation:
"Kai, I don't know if you remember, but we had a call. I told you I'm too old for this. Kai said, 'What are you talking about? You're never too old for anything. You're 31.' So, I said, 'You know what? You're right.' And I did it. And I'm very happy I did."

Kai Cenat: "SU 2027 Will Be in Europe"
After the ceremony, Kai Cenat addressed the crowd about the future of Streamer University, describing the programme as far larger than any individual:
"Streamer University is an idea that I had in my head that is now the entire world and a reality that I realized was just big — is just way bigger than me."
He also confirmed that SU will run every year indefinitely, and dropped the location reveal for the next edition:
"I did say that I am going to be doing this event for every single year until I don't know what happens. So, I wanted to announce something that I'm super excited for — Streamer University 2027 will be taking place in Europe."
