It's official: after months away from the camera, Kai Cenat is officially making his return.
The streaming superstar has confirmed that he'll be going live on Monday, July 6 at 8pm EST, using the broadcast to kick off the next chapter of Streamer University. It will also be the first time the AMP founder has streamed simultaneously on both Twitch and YouTube, marking a major milestone in the evolution of his content.
In January, Cenat surprised fans by uploading a video titled "I Quit," where he spoke candidly about the pressures of maintaining one of the internet's biggest streaming careers. He explained that constant broadcasting had left him feeling creatively drained and mentally exhausted, prompting him to step back and focus on his wellbeing as well as new ventures, including the launch of his fashion label, Vivet.
Now, Cenat is returning with one of his biggest projects yet. Streamer University is back for a second year after the debut edition became one of the most talked-about creator events of 2025. Hosted on the campus of the University of Akron, the first instalment brought together emerging streamers and established creators for several days of workshops, collaborative broadcasts and networking opportunities, generating tens of millions of hours watched in the process.
Ahead of this year's launch, Cenat released a cinematic trailer inspired by the world of 'Harry Potter,' teasing the return of the academy with owls flooding the AMP house as applications officially opened. Interest has only grown since last year, with more than one million aspiring creators reportedly applying for just 100 to 150 places. Those selected receive fully funded travel, accommodation and meals while taking part in the programme.
Tonight's stream is expected to reveal the full Class of 2026, alongside the returning students and the high-profile creators who will act as professors and club leaders throughout this year's programme. Broadcasting live from the AMP house, Cenat is set to give fans their first proper look at what promises to be an even bigger edition of Streamer University.
