About Twitch
Twitch is the live streaming platform owned by Amazon, best known for video games but also used for music, talk shows and sports. Streams are delivered through Twitch's own video network, while twitch.tv hosts the website, chat and channel pages. Live video needs a stable connection, so slow providers show buffering even when the site works. A check by country shows whether twitch.tv answers and how fast the secure connection is from each place.

Frequently asked questions
Is Twitch down right now?
Not for most of the world. In our latest check on 12 November 2026, 18:50 UTC twitch.tv opened from 83 of 85 countries. If it does not open for you, the cause is more likely local: your provider, your network or a restriction in your country. Run a new check to see the current result for your country.
Why does Twitch not open in my country?
When twitch.tv works in other countries but not in yours, there are three usual reasons: a restriction ordered by authorities, filtering by your provider, or a network problem between your provider and Twitch. A different security certificate, a reset connection or a wrong address from DNS are typical signs of filtering; a timeout can be either filtering or a network fault.
How is twitch.tv checked?
From measurement points in about 90 countries we look up the address of twitch.tv with the local DNS and open a secure connection to it, checking that the site returns its own certificate. We do not load the page content, and we do not publish which networks the measurements came from.
