New Twitch Badges for October 2026: The Complete Overview

October starts with a full plate, because a lot of September carries over. The PAYDAY masks, the ATLUS set, CONTROL Resonant, Dungeons & Dragons, Rematch and ACE COMBAT 8 all started in the last days of September and run well into October. New on top come RuneFest with two RuneScape badges and, at the very end of the month, the Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival in Japan. This article collects every global Twitch badge that is collectable in October or starts fresh, with start and end dates. Like the September overview, it grows over the month: as soon as a new drop shows up in the archive, I add it here.

Every badge links straight to its BadgeBase page with the streamer list, collector overview and live indicator. So you never miss a start: subscribe to the iCal calendar, check the timeline, whose Missing tab shows only what you do not have yet, or turn on the Badge Alert. All running Twitch Drop campaigns are on the drops page.

One note up front: from around October 8 I am moving house, and for a few days many automations on BadgeBase will be offline. The site stays up, but new badges may show up here a little later than usual during that time. Details in the announcement.

⏳ Last day on October 1

Several September badges end on the first day of the month, so this is your last call: SUBtember 2026 (sub, gift or Bits on any monetised channel), the free Mouseathon and both Dawnwalker badges, the free Launch and the paid Supporter.

🏆 WSCI 2026 (until October 3)

WSCI 2026 for the World Star Challengers Invitational is paid: a sub or a gifted sub to a channel in the League of Legends category with drops. The badge page shows which of the tournament's channels are live right now.

🐉 RuneScape: Dragonwilds Eye, Shrimp and Yellow Party Hat

The free RuneScape Dragonwilds Eye still runs until October 4: 30 minutes in the RuneScape: Dragonwilds category. And for RuneFest 2026 there are two new free badges from October 3 to 5. Yellow Party Hat comes from watching the official RuneFest livestream for one hour, RuneScape Shrimp from watching a channel that co-streams RuneFest in the Old School RuneScape category for one hour. Two different streams, so plan for both. All RuneScape badges are collected under #runescape.

🚶 Big Walk (until October 4)

Big Walk is paid and comes from a sub or a gifted sub to a streamer in the Big Walk category.

💰 PAYDAY 3: four masks (until October 10)

Three free, one paid, all in the PAYDAY 3 category: Chains after 30 minutes of watching, Hoxton after 60 and Wolf after 90. Dallas takes a sub or a gifted sub.

🎭 The ATLUS set (until October 11)

Five paid badges, one per game, each only in its own category: Homo Tenta (Metaphor: ReFantazio), Koromaru (Persona 3 Reload), Morgana (Persona 5 Royal), Nahobiho (Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance) and Teddie (Persona 4 Golden). All five means five subs. Collected under #atlus.

🍄 CONTROL Resonant (until October 13)

Don't Eat The Mold is free for one hour of watching in the CONTROL Resonant category, The Inverted Man is paid and needs a sub or a gifted sub in the same category.

🎮 DRON-E: Rainbow Six Siege (until October 13)

The paid DRON-E badge for the Wasteland Circuit event comes from a sub or a gifted sub to a participating Rainbow Six Siege stream.

🎲 Dungeons & Dragons: d20 and Ampersand (until October 21)

d20 is free and comes from watching Dungeon Masters on Twitch, meaning streams in the Dungeons & Dragons category. Ampersand is paid and needs a sub in that category.

⚽ Rematch Blue Lock (until October 22)

Rematch Blue Lock is free and drops after 30 minutes of watching in the Rematch category.

✈️ ACE COMBAT 8 Nugget (until October 26)

ACE COMBAT 8 Nugget started on September 29 for the game's launch and runs for almost four weeks. It is paid: a sub or a gifted sub in the ACE COMBAT 8 category, and according to the Twitch campaign the Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War category counts as well.

🐺 Wolf Medallion (until October 27)

For The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered there is Wolf Medallion, Geralt's medallion of the School of the Wolf. It is paid: a sub or a gifted sub to a streamer in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt category, and the new Remastered category counts too. The window opens with the worldwide release on September 29 at 12:00 CEST and runs until October 27.

🗡️ Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival 2026 in Japan

At the very end of the month, the Fan Festival in Japan brings two free badges, from October 30 to November 1. Alpha Chat comes from watching a creator in the Final Fantasy XIV category for 60 minutes during the festival, Quest Complete Chat from watching the Fan Fest itself for 60 minutes on twitch.tv/finalfantasyxiv. Both have been in the archive since April, and the dates can still move before the event.

🔜 Announced, but no date yet

Three badges are already in the archive without a confirmed window: SEEGSON Synthetics (free, 30 minutes in the Alien Isolation category), Sevastopol Station (paid, Alien Isolation) and Ultramarine (paid, Space Marine 2 anniversary campaign). They were listed in the tos.gg recap from September 21. As soon as Twitch opens the campaigns, BadgeBase picks up the real times on its own and I add them here.

🎪 TwitchCon San Diego 2026

The two ticket badges stay claimable until November 15: Taco for the 3-day ticket and BeachBall for the 1-day ticket. All TwitchCon badges are collected under #twitchcon.

🟩 And on Kick

If you also collect on Kick: the World of Warcraft Forever badge runs until October 31, for 50 hours in the new category. Enter your Kick name in the settings and BadgeBase reads your Kick badges on its own. Where you stand is on the Kick leaderboard.

What to keep in mind

The first week is the busiest: October 1 closes SUBtember, Mouseathon and Dawnwalker, then WSCI (October 3), Big Walk and Dragonwilds Eye (October 4) and the RuneFest weekend (October 3 to 5). After that the PAYDAY masks (October 10), the ATLUS set (October 11), CONTROL Resonant and DRON-E (October 13), Dungeons & Dragons (October 21), Rematch (October 22), ACE COMBAT 8 (October 26) and Wolf Medallion (October 27) follow, and the month ends with the Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival.

What is currently rare shows up on the rarest list, and the 2026 leaderboard only counts badges that started this year. What happened on Twitch itself is in the monthly recap, most recently for September.
