What LIVE Fest is, and why you should care
Words with a dotted underline have a quick explanation. Hover over them, or tap them on your phone.
LIVE FEST is TikTok’s global LIVE campaign, and the biggest one on the calendar. From 6 Nov to 21 Dec, creators around the world compete on leaderboards in different leagues, round by round, all the way to a Global Finale.
Points come from your fans: gifts, votes, matches and daily missions. Climb high enough in your region and you go up against the best creators in the world for titles like Global Creator of 2026.
You don’t need to win it to get a lot out of it. TikTok puts serious promotion behind LIVE Fest, so it’s the best few weeks of the year to grow your audience, lift your earnings and give your community something to rally behind.
Huge exposure
TikTok is putting tens of millions of impressions behind the campaign, with banners, feed cards and LIVE room promos.
Diamonds and swag
Diamond Pools, Double Blasts, coupons and official LIVE Fest swag, with more on offer the further you go.
Trophies and titles
Trophies, plaques, profile labels and the chance at a global title for the top creators.
A stronger community
Fans love a mission. The Super Fans, gifters and new followers you pick up stick around long after it ends.
The rewards
Just for taking part
LIVE Fest stickers, promo coupons, Double Blasts, Diamond Pools and Daily Quest rewards.
For top finishers
Diamonds, trophies, plaques, physical badges, swag, profile labels and frames, celebration effects and regional LIVE announcements.
For the very top
Global titles and invitations to TikTok’s offline LIVE Fest event, including the award ceremony and red carpet. TikTok decides these under its own terms.
Rumours are pointing to the LIVE Fest offline event taking place in Japan. TikTok decides the final location, so treat it as a rumour until they confirm.

Power League first, then Fandom and Talent. Climb your leaderboard.
- 3Global Finale17 – 21 Dec
The top creators from every region go head to head.
Which league am I in? Every LIVE creator is in the Power League, in a division set by TikTok. The Fandom League and Talent League run later. Your campaign page shows yours, and your Creator Growth Manager can confirm it.
Power League
Open to all LIVE creators. TikTok splits you into divisions by your Diamond earnings, so you’re racing creators at your level, not the biggest names on the app.
How you earn points
The FEST gifts are FEST Pop (1 coin), FEST Gear (99), FEST Cheers (299) and FEST Party (2,999), plus one more TikTok will reveal.
Bonus points
Round 1: Double Blasts, plus Bonus Hour from 9 to 10 PM every day, when everyone earns double points.
Rounds 2 and 3: Double Blasts, plus a Match bonus: your highest match score each day is added to your leaderboard 1:1 (full 5-minute matches only, up to 10M bonus points a day).
The full rules are in Double points explained.
How you advance
| Division | Round 1 to 2 | Round 2 to 3 | Round 3 to Global Finale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Legend | Top 300 | Top 100+ | Top 20 |
| Crown A | Top 500 | Top 100 | Top 20 (Crown leaderboard) |
| Crown B | Top 1,000 | Top 200 | |
| Rising | Top 1,000 | Top 200 | Top 10 |
Numbers are from TikTok’s briefing. Advancing also earns you a Double Blast that lasts until the Global Finale ends.
Rewards
Round 1: the top 3 get a regional LIVE announcement, daily top 20 creators get a Double Blast, and everyone who advances gets a LIKE effect and a Treasure Box with votes.
Round 3: trophies, a celebration effect, profile labels, Diamonds, physical badges, plaques and swag for the top finishers in each division, with Global Finale spots for the very top.
TikTok sets and hands out every reward under its own terms.
Our tip: bank your warm-up points, go hard in Bonus Hour, and save at least one Double Blast for Round 3, when every point counts most.
Fandom League
For creators with a big, active fanbase. Here, how many people back you matters as much as how much they send: every gifter is worth 100 points.
How you earn points
In Round 1 only, gift points are capped at 300,000 a day.
Bonus points
Double Blasts unlock each day when you reach a set number of gifters: Legend 20, Platinum 10, Gold 8, Silver 5, Bronze 3, Rising 2.
FEST Gift Match bonus: do Specific-Gift Matches using the 1-coin FEST gift as many times as you like. Your best match score each day is multiplied by 5 and added to your points.
How you advance
| Division | Round 1 to 2 | Round 2 to Global Finale |
|---|---|---|
| Legend | Top 100 | Top 50 |
| Platinum | Top 100 | Top 50 |
| Gold | Top 200 | Top 20 |
| Silver | Top 200 | Top 20 |
| Bronze | Top 300 | Round 2 is the final round |
| Rising | Top 300 | Round 2 is the final round |
Rewards
Daily top 20 creators in Round 1 get a 30-minute Double Blast. Top finishers in Round 2 can earn trophies, celebration effects, regional LIVE announcements, profile labels, Diamonds, swag, plaques and Treasure Boxes with votes.
TikTok sets and hands out every reward under its own terms.
Our tip: a hundred fans sending a 1-coin FEST Pop beats one big gifter here. Rally your whole community, not just your top gifters.
Talent League
For creators whose LIVEs are all about the performance. There are two tracks in our region, and you pick yours during auditions.
Who can join
Music: you need Music Lover or Music Talent status, which you build by doing music LIVEs.
Gaming: at least half your LIVEs in the 14 days before you pick your track need to be gaming.
How you earn points: Music
There are 6 FEST gifts in this league, including one interactive gift just for this track.
Take the Stage bonus: join Take the Stage matches as often as you like. Your best match each day is multiplied by 5 and added to your points.
How you earn points: Gaming
Gaming points are capped at 150,000 per creator per day.
Rewards
Completing your audition gets you a Like effect and a Treasure Box with votes. In Round 2, top finishers in each track can earn trophies, plaques, achievement effects, profile labels, regional LIVE announcements, swag and badges.
TikTok sets and hands out every reward under its own terms.
Our tip (Gaming): Super Fans are worth 500 points each. Remind your regulars how to join your Super Fan club before 9 Dec.
Global Finale
The best creators from every league, from every region, on one global stage.
How it works
Round 1: the top 2 in our region, or the top 100 worldwide, on each global leaderboard go through to Round 2.
Round 2: the global top 10 win the Global Creator of 2026 title. On the Rising leaderboard, the top 10 win Rising Power 2026.
How you earn points
Points work the same way as in your regional league, with one new boost for Power League creators: a Vault Combo. Send another Vault gift within 3 seconds and it counts double.
Rewards
The top creators in the world can earn trophies, global titles and invitations to TikTok’s offline LIVE Fest event, plus much more. TikTok decides every reward and invitation under its own terms.
Crossover League
This one isn’t for you if you already go LIVE regularly. It’s TikTok’s way of bringing short video creators onto LIVE.
Who it’s for
Short video creators with at least 10K followers who’ve gone LIVE 2 times or fewer in the past 30 days. Crossover creators can’t join the other leagues, and they don’t see the other campaign pages.
If you know a short video creator thinking about LIVE, this is a great way in, and we’d love to help them get started.
How it works
Creators level up at 10K, 25K and 50K points, and Level 3 puts you on the global leaderboard. Points come from going LIVE for 25+ minutes a day (100 points), new followers, video views and likes on videos with #LIVEFEST2026, new fans and gifts.
