Political commentary streamer Hasan Piker has had his Twitch account banned once again, marking his first strike of 2026, but far from his first ban overall.
Hasan’s Twitch account was taken offline at roughly 7PM PT on January 29, 2026. This came midway through a broadcast wherein he was discussing a recent murder in America.
It’s unconfirmed, but it appears certain comments pertaining to the murder resulted in his ban, as Hasan himself addressed the situation on X (formerly Twitter) moments after, pointing to his own coverage of the divisive situation.

Twitch / HasanHasan is certainly familiar with being struck off Twitch, having faced half a dozen bans before.
Far from his first ban on the purple streaming giant, he was also recently struck offline for 24 hours back in March, 2025. That ban stemmed from heated comments that Hasan himself admitted were over the line. “Ok, so obviously I shouldn’t have used hyperbolic language, and there’s definitely some ownership I must take,” he said at the time.
