Streamer Kai Cenat has confirmed that his highly anticipated Mafiathon 3 will be his next broadcast on Twitch, telling fans on August 18, “The next time you see me stream is the first day of Mafiathon 3. See y’all soon.”
Cenat first launched the Mafiathon concept in 2023, when his debut marathon stream became a landmark moment on Twitch. The event rallied his devoted “Kai Mafia” community, pushed subscriber numbers to unprecedented levels, and helped secure his status as the platform’s most-subscribed creator. A year later, he reclaimed the Twitch subscription crown during Mafiathon 2, ending the 30-day broadcast with 728,535 subs and setting a record that still stands.
Although no exact start date has been announced, Cenat made it clear that whenever he goes live next, it will mark the beginning of Mafiathon 3. His announcement mirrors the rollout of last year’s event, which began weeks after the initial tease, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the official launch window.
As with previous installments, expectations for Mafiathon 3 are sky-high. “I’ve put my everything into this right here,” Cenat told viewers. Past streams have blended unpredictable gaming sessions with surprise visits from major celebrities, including musicians, athletes, and even Hollywood stars. In one stream, fans saw him give a studio tour alongside Snoop Dogg, while other moments ranged from comedy bits to high-stakes gaming challenges.
Regular collaborators such as Druski and Fanum are likely to make appearances, while celebrity guests remain under wraps. Cenat has a history of delivering cultural icons as part of the experience, keeping viewers guessing from day to day. With both prior Mafiathons lasting a full month, fans can expect several weeks of nonstop content and surprise moments when Cenat kicks off his third marathon event.
