The largest Telegram channels, measured directly

The 100 entries on the register with the largest measured subscriber count right now, with the date each was measured and how far it has moved since our first reading of it — the one column a directory built on self-reported numbers structurally cannot show, because it never held an earlier figure to subtract.

The change column covers only the history we hold. The oldest measurement in the register was taken on 5 August 2026. Nothing in this table is a growth rate or a projection, and no figure here has been divided by time to make one — a two-day change extrapolated to a month is a number nobody measured. Read the change column as exactly what it is: the difference between our first reading of an entry and our latest one, over however many days sit between them.

Top 100

Ordered by the most recent subscriber count we measured, largest first. Counts are read from Telegram’s own public profile page, never self-reported. A group’s count is members and a bot’s is monthly users — this table mixes all three kinds of entry, and each row says which. Change is this entry’s own first-ever reading subtracted from its latest, over whatever span the register has held it — a single-reading entry shows no change because there is nothing yet to compare it against, not because nothing moved.
