Best Time to Stream on Twitch (CET) in 2025

Planning your stream times around CET/CEST? Here’s a pragmatic framework that works even without deep analytics: avoid head‑to‑head with major events, favor consistent weeknights, and optimize around your audience’s after‑work hours.

Quick guidance

• Weeknights (Mon–Thu): 19:00–22:00 CET performs well for most categories.
• Fridays: Slightly later starts (20:00–23:00) can capture weekend energy.
• Weekends: Late mornings (11:00–14:00) or evenings (19:00–22:00) reduce overlap with sports/events.
• Consistency beats everything: Pick 3 days and hold them.

Make it consistent in minutes

Use StreamSchedule Studio to set a recurring template like Mon/Wed/Fri 19:00–22:00 CET and publish to Twitch in one click. Studio also generates a public page, ICS, and a weekly share image.

Category nuances

• Just Chatting / Variety: Prime evening hours work best; avoid clashing with marquee shows.
• Competitive titles (LoL, Valorant, CS2): Stream pre‑ or post‑match windows; post‑game analysis performs well.
• MMOs / RPGs: Longer weekend blocks can build retention without penalty.

Next steps

• Create your schedule in Studio.
• Share the weekly image on X/Discord.
• Embed your schedule on your creator page and link it in Twitch About.
