TikTok LIVE Fest 2025 – A stage powered by community

The biggest global celebration of TikTok LIVE returns – bringing new leagues, new stories, and endless ways to shine. Every year, TikTok LIVE Fest welcomes creators from all over the world to celebrate their achievements on LIVE and compete for a chance to take home the title of Creator of the Year – an award recognizing their talent and dedication.

This year’s theme, “Make LIVE Count,” is all about what it truly means to show up, be yourself, and turn every LIVE into something that matters.

This year’s LIVE Fest expands the stage like never before. With more leagues, more formats, and more chances to win, every creator – from top performers to fast-rising talents – has a path to shine. Creators grow not only through points and rankings, but also through the experience of performing, improving, and being seen.

And for the first time, Rising Power Track shines a spotlight on creators who’ve shown the fastest growth – recognizing effort, persistence, and progress. By recognizing emerging voices, LIVE Fest sends a clear message: Every effort counts, and every creator deserves to be celebrated.

LIVE Fest is also a celebration for you, the viewers. Viewers around the world can experience richer, higher-quality content – from breathtaking performances to crossover shows by top short-video creators.

Audiences can now support creators in more meaningful ways, like voting daily, joining a Fan Club, or sending themed Fest gifts that unlock new viewer badges and rewards. Every interaction helps shape the outcome of the competition – turning the audience into part of the story.

If you're on TikTok, you can join TikTok LIVE Fest – it's simple, and everything happens in-app. Creators can sign up through the campaign page, select their league, and go LIVE to earn points through votes and engagement. Viewers can join the same page to vote, complete daily missions, and cheer for their favorite LIVE creators in real time.

With new tools and features, creators can plan their LIVEs strategically to reach the top. Use Double Blast to double your points for one hour whenever you go LIVE, join the official Bonus Hour to earn double points automatically during scheduled time slots, and take part in Match Bonus challenges where your highest daily score adds extra points to your leaderboard.

From November 7 to December 22, creators across regions will light up the stage – culminating in the Global Finale (December 18-22), where the most outstanding LIVE talents will be crowned. All paths lead to one destination: the LIVE Fest Global Awards Ceremony, where creators from around the world will gather for a night of recognition, creativity, and celebration.

Whether you’re going LIVE, cheering, or discovering new creators, this is your invitation to be part of a shared celebration, to discover something new with a global community. Join the fun directly through the TikTok app. This is your moment to “Make LIVE Count.”
