Once per year, during the month of September, viewers are given more of an incentive to subscribe to their favorite channels on Twitch. The event is called SUBtember and there are a few ways that streamers can maximize the event on their own channels.
What is SUBtember on Twitch?
SUBtember was first celebrated in 2017. The term is a play on words, merging together the words “Sub” and “September.” During the month of September, subscriptions on Twitch are discounted, making it more affordable for followers to support their favorite streamers.
Broadcasters who are trying to hit specific sub-goals to unlock emotes or meet milestones can create special events throughout the month to make the most of the event. While the details of SUBtember vary from year to year, streamer strategies can remain the same.
Twitch SUBtember Perks 2022
In 2022, SUBtember is sponsored by Legion by Lenovo. The event will start on September 1 at 11 AM PT. If you decide to sub, upgrade a Prime sub, or gift a sub, you will receive a discount in relation to the length of your subscription.
