Kai Cenat attends the Premiere of Lionsgate's "Michael" at Dolby Theatre on April 20, 2026 in Hollywood, California. Julian Hamilton/FilmMagic After a bit of a hiatus, mega streamer Kai Cenat is back with his flagship program, Streamer University, and for the second consecutive year, he’ll unite a new class of creators for an experience designed to inspire, educate, and equip the next generation of streamers. Cenat made his live-stream return on Monday night (July 6) and officially announced the 2026 roster of students and staff on his YouTube and Twitch channels.
This year, Cenat recruited several of his celebrity friends, including Lizzo and T-Pain, to join the 26-person staff as professors, club directors, and more. Streamer University accepted 120 students for the Class of 2026, which includes familiar faces like former Disney star Skai Jackson, Love Island USA contestant Jeremiah Brown, and rapper-turned-streamer DreamDoll.
The selected class of students was finalized after a competitive application process that included in-person auditions, drawing thousands of aspiring streamers and content creators to New York City, Atlanta, and Los Angeles.
Before more details are revealed about Cenat’s annual initiative and the campus where classes will be held, below is a round-up of notable staff and enrolled students in this year’s cohort. Visit Streamer University’s official site for the full list and more.

Lizzo is taking her music expertise to the classroom and will serve as a professor. Whether she’s teaching students how to command a stage, build a personal brand, or even play the flute, Lizzo has no shortage of lessons to share.
The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter made her streaming debut in 2025 and has since appeared on several of Cenat’s livestreams alongside her close friend SZA, showing she’s just as comfortable creating content as she is making music.
