New Twitch Badges for August 2026 — The Complete Overview

August 2026 is just getting started, but the badge hunt takes no break: as the month begins, more than 15 global Twitch badges are actively collectible, from the Egg Hunt in the Roblox category to the finale of the Esports World Cup. This article grows with the month: as soon as new August drops appear in the archive, I add them here. So it pays to check back often.

Every badge links straight to its BadgeBase page with streamer list, collector overview and live indicator. If you never want to miss a drop: subscribe to the iCal calendar, have a look at the timeline or get notified via Badge Alert.

🥚 Egg Hunt 2026: The Grand Eggspress

The Egg badge is the marathon runner of the month: it belongs to the Roblox event Egg Hunt 2026: The Grand Eggspress and runs until August 26. You earn it by subscribing or gifting a sub to a streamer in the Roblox category. Over 800 collectors are already in the archive, and almost the whole of August is left.

🎮 Esports World Cup 2026: final sprint until August 24

The biggest badge event of the summer enters its last lap: the EWC 2026 in Riyadh ends on August 24, and with it the chance at all six levels. Five are free via watchtime, the sixth via sub:

EWC 2026 (Bronze) — 60 minutes of watchtime
EWC 2026 (Silver) — 120 minutes of watchtime
EWC 2026 (Gold) — 180 minutes of watchtime
EWC 2026 (Platinum) — 360 minutes of watchtime
EWC 2026 (Diamond) — 720 minutes of watchtime
EWC 2026 (Ultraviolet) — sub in an eligible channel

👑 EWC 2026 Co-Streamer: applications open

Running in parallel until August 23 are the six badges for co-streamers of the Esports World Cup, awarded through the EWC creator program. These are not a casual pickup: you need to apply with truthful details, and the guideline is around 50 concurrent viewers (CCV).

🏳️‍🌈 Dead by Daylight Pride Icon: only until August 10

The most unusual badge in circulation has the shortest deadline: the Dead by Daylight Pride Icon belongs to the Into the Rainbow campaign, through which Behaviour Interactive raises money for InterPride. You earn it with a sub or gift sub to a participating Dead by Daylight streamer, so part of the money goes to a non-profit. Over 900 collectors already have it; it ends on August 10.

🎪 TwitchCon San Diego 2026: still claimable

Both ticket badges remain claimable throughout August, all the way to November 15. They are not earned by watching or subbing; both are tied to a TwitchCon San Diego 2026 ticket:

TwitchCon 2026 — San Diego — Taco — for holders of a 3-day ticket
TwitchCon 2026 — San Diego — BeachBall — for holders of a 1-day ticket

You can find all TwitchCon badges collected under #twitchcon.

What else is coming in August

Admittedly, at the start of the month the list of genuine August launches is still short. The month is young, and Twitch rarely announces badge drops far in advance. Experience says plenty of short drops will land as the month goes on; July led the way with 33 badges, see the July overview. As soon as something new appears, it goes straight into this article.

What to remember

The most important deadline first: August 10 for the Dead by Daylight Pride Icon, then August 24 for all six EWC levels and August 26 for the Egg. If you want the whole of August in your calendar, click once into the iCal feed and every start and end date lands automatically in Google Calendar or Apple Calendar.

The rarest list shows which badges have become rare. And if you want to know where you stand this year: the 2026 leaderboard only counts badges launched this year.
