How to check when a YouTube channel was created
- 01
Enter the channel
Paste an @handle, a channel link or a link to one of the channel's videos.
- 02
See the creation date
Get the date and time the channel was created, in UTC, and its exact age.
- 03
Compare its growth
See its average views, subscribers and uploads per year since it started.
Where the date comes from
YouTube records the moment every channel is created, and the YouTube Data API returns it. That's the same date YouTube shows as "Joined" on a channel's About page, here with the exact time.
A channel can be older than its first video: some channels were created years before they started uploading, and creators can delete old videos. The averages per year spread the channel's current totals evenly over its age.

Why is the time in UTC?
