SUBtember is here! — This month, get half off the first month of a new Sub!

(9/29, 11AM PT) Update: SUBtember has been extended until October 18th, 11:59pm PT.

(9/15, 5PM PT) Update: the discount is now available on our Android mobile app.

(9/7, 10:15AM PT) Update: This discount is currently only available through a desktop web browser (www.twitch.tv) and not on the Twitch Mobile App, the Twitch Desktop App, nor the beta experience at go.twitch.tv. If you have purchased a subscription prior to this update on these platforms, please file a support ticket here for assistance.

This one is for the Partner and Affiliate streamers we all love to watch. They work hard to create communities we want to be a part of. Some make us laugh. Some teach us things. Some remember our names and ask us how our day was. In their own unique ways, they all make us feel like part of something.

In appreciation for all that they do, we’re making it easier for all of you to take the leap and subscribe to someone. From now through October 18th, the first month of any new subscription to any channel offering a recurring subscription on Twitch is half off! (edit: This discount is currently only available through a desktop web browser (www.twitch.tv) and not on the Twitch Mobile App, the Twitch Desktop App, nor the beta experience at go.twitch.tv) After one month, the subscription will return to normal price.

So whether you’ve never subscribed to anyone, or you’ve got 10 Subs and you want to add the 11th, you can get the first month at half off the normal price. And the streamer will get the full amount of money they would get if the Sub were full price, so they’ll receive your full support. See who you’ve been following and take advantage of this deal!

Burning Questions

Q. What do you mean ‘new’ subscription?

A. It means you can only get this discount on a channel you have not been subscribed to for at least 32 days.

Q. Does this apply to both Partner and Affiliate channels?

A. Yes, to both as long as they offer a recurring subscription!

Q. Does this apply to the $4.99, $9.99 and $24.99 Subscription options?

A. Yes, to all three!

Q. How long will a subscription be half off?

A. Only the first month of a new subscription is half off. After one month, the subscription will return to normal price.

Q. What about tax and VAT?

A. The 50% discount is on the base price of the subscription before any taxes are applied.

Q. When exactly is this happening?

A. Starting now and ending 11:59PM PDT October 18th

Q. I subscribed through the Twitch Mobile App/Twitch Desktop App/beta experience at go.twitch.tv but the subscription was full price. What should I do?

A. If you have purchased a subscription before 9/7, 10:15AM PT on these platforms, please file a support ticket here for assistance.

Q: What happens if I immediately cancel the subscription using the ‘CANCEL’ button and not the ‘DON’T RENEW’ button?

A: This will cancel your subscription immediately and issue you a refund within 48 hours. Your account will no longer be eligible for the half off promotion on this channel subscription.
