Why Was Pewdiepie Banned From Twitch? Explained
Twitch can be a confusing platform even for viewers. Their Terms of Service are invoked at odd times, and streamers (even big ones) are often temporarily banned. The latest recipient of the Twitch banhammer is Pewdiepie, and viewers are wondering why.
Pewdiepie Twitch Ban Explanation
After a long hiatus, Pewdiepie’s Twitch channel was only recently reactivated in May as it began to stream marathons of his older video library. Not long into the marathon streams, the whole channel was inexplicably banned without any official reason. While that ban didn’t last long, it didn’t make the channel immune to further issues.
On August 09, 2025, Pewdiepie has once again been banned on Twitch. There hasn’t been a reason given at the time of writing, so it is unclear when/if the channel might return.
We’re also unlikely to hear any statement from Pewdiepie either, as his wife gave birth to their first child not long ago, on July 15.
All Times Pewdiepie Has Been Banned From Twitch
Despite being around since 2010, Pewdiepie has only been banned from Twitch twice. The first was in May 2023, at the start of his “Infinity” streams, for unconfirmed reasons. The second time is July 22, 2025, for also unknown grounds.
