Mod Founder
This badge was earned by being a founding member of the Twitch Moderator Club for Mod Appreciation Day 2026.
About This Badge
Mod Founder is a global Twitch badge from 2026, and with fewer than 400 collectors on BadgeBase one of the rarest of them all. How did you get it? Only by application: anyone moderating a channel could sign up for the Twitch Moderator Club through an official form between May 30 and July 11, 2026, around Mod Appreciation Day. It was free; all it required was verifiable mod work.
Unlike watch-time drops, this badge could not be earned by viewing, and it cannot be bought either. That is exactly what explains the low collector count: it only reached people who work behind the scenes of Twitch communities, the elite cousin of the classic Moderator badge.
The application window closed on July 11, 2026. If you mod a channel yourself, a possible new round of the Moderator Club is the only way in. Badge Alert sends an email the moment a new global badge appears.
