Twitch Partnership is for top-performing creators who are serious about broadcasting, have already built up a sizable audience, and are ready to take it to the next level. Unlike Affiliates, where you are invited automatically when you meet the requirements, you must apply and be selected in order to join the Twitch Partner Program.

When you submit your application, you will see a confirmation screen on the page and will receive an automated email confirming your submission. Please do not reply to this email until you have received an official response. Replying to the email before you have received a response will push your application to the bottom of the queue.
Since we take the time to review every application individually, it may take up to 2-4 weeks for you to hear back from us. Those who have completed the Path to Partner achievement can expect a response within 7 business days.
Your application can be considered based on other factors, such as having a significant following on other services and/or platforms. If you have established a large audience on other services such as YouTube or Twitter, and would like to be considered for your live streaming potential, please apply here. Please note that having a large following on other services does not guarantee Partnership.
Yes. Non-partnered channels may receive quality/transcode options if there is available capacity. Among non-partnered channels, Affiliated channels will receive higher priority than non-Affiliated channels.
