What this report answers
- Which countries have the most YouTube channels?
- How does my market compare by channel count?
The full report covers 242 countries, rebuilt every week, most recently from data as of 10 Nov 2026.
How this was made
Channels we track with 10,000 or more subscribers that pass the sanity checks of the rankings (the ranked set). It is not all of YouTube. The country is the one the channel lists on its YouTube profile.
- Many channels list no country; shares are of channels that do.
- A listed country is where the creator says the channel is, not where its audience is.
Built 10 Nov 2026 from our own measurements.

Question · Shorts
Do Shorts get more views than regular YouTube videos?
For channels under 100K subscribers, about two and a half times as many. Above a million, no difference.
