The renowned ZEvent charity marathon has officially opened ticket sales for what is being billed as the final edition of the event bringing together the biggest French-speaking streamers. Held in early September over three days, it continues to establish itself as one of the most-watched events in European streaming.
Created in 2016 by Adrien Nougaret and Alexis Delattre, ZEvent combines live streams, community challenges, and fundraising for charities. Over the years, the marathon has become a cultural phenomenon far exceeding the world of video games, attracting millions of viewers and ever more impressive donation records.
An event that has become huge in the world of streaming
The opening of ticket sales once again sparked a huge frenzy on social media, with thousands of users trying to secure a ticket to attend the event on-site. Several previous editions had already sold out in just a few minutes.
ZEvent has gradually established itself as a major showcase for French streaming, bringing together creators like Squeezie, Gotaga, and MisterMV. The event also raised tens of millions of euros for various humanitarian, environmental, and social causes.
A final, highly symbolic edition
The announcement of a "final edition" gives a special significance to the 2026 event. Even if the organizers remain vague about the exact future of the concept, many viewers already see this edition as the end of a major cycle in the history of French-language streaming.
The success of ZEvent also illustrates the profound transformation of the digital media landscape. Long considered a marginal world, streaming has become a space capable of mobilizing massive audiences, major sponsors, and fundraising efforts that sometimes exceed those of large, traditional charities.
