Top Science Channels on YouTube (2026)
Researchers, science communicators, museums and research institutions come together in this ranking of science on YouTube. Space agencies and university laboratories publish alongside individual physicists, biologists and engineers who explain their field to a general audience, often with production values to match. Placement follows live subscriber counts, so an independent explainer channel is measured against an established institution on the same terms. The ranking refreshes continuously, keeping it current as new discoveries, missions and creators bring fresh attention to the category.
Use this list to find the most influential accounts for partnerships and campaigns. Filter by country and category, sort by followers, and export the top 100 to plan outreach, from Mark Rober at number one to fast-rising names further down the ranking.
