New Twitch Badges for July 2026 — The Complete Overview

July 2026 doesn't hold back: 29 new global Twitch badges dropped across the whole of July — from Esports World Cup 2026 with six Watch- and Sub-tiers down to solo game launches like Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, Pokémon GO or DEAD OR ALIVE 6. And DreamCon 2026 in Rotterdam got five badges of its own. On top of that: six freshly discovered Esports World Cup co-streamer badges — more on those below.

Here's the complete rundown. Every badge links back to its BadgeBase page with streamer list, collector data and a live indicator. If you don't want to miss a drop: subscribe to the iCal feed or peek at the timeline.
