How to Remove or Hide Channels from Recommendations on Twitch (2026 Guide)
If you keep seeing recommended channels on the Twitch homepage that you are not interested in, you can easily hide them. Twitch lets you tell the algorithm “Not Interested” so those channels stop appearing in your recommendations.
In this fully updated 2026 guide, we show you the exact steps that still work today. The process is quick and works on both desktop and mobile.
Step 1: Go to the Twitch Homepage
Go to www.twitch.tv or click the Twitch logo in the top-left corner of any page.
On the homepage you will see sections like “Live channels we think you’ll like”, categories, and other personalized recommendations.
Step 2: Remove Unwanted Channels
Find the channel you do not want to see anymore. Click the three vertical dots (⋮) next to it.
Select “Not Interested” (or “I am not interested in this channel”).
Repeat this for any other channels you want to hide. You can also expand any section by clicking “Show more” to see and hide even more recommendations.
How to Hide Recommended Games / Categories
The same method works for game recommendations that appear below the live channels.
How to Undo a “Not Interested” Mistake
If you accidentally hide a channel you actually like:
- Click your profile picture (top right)
- Go to Settings
- Click the Recommendations tab
- You will see a list of hidden channels — click the X next to any you want to bring back
Pro Tips to Improve Your Recommendations in 2026
- Follow the streamers and games you actually enjoy - Twitch uses this data to show you better suggestions
- To follow a game: Use the search bar at the top, click the game box art, then click the big Follow button on the directory page
- The more you follow and watch content you like, the fewer irrelevant recommendations you will see
Frequently Asked Questions
Does “Not Interested” remove the channel forever?
No. It just stops Twitch from recommending that specific channel to you. You can always undo it in Settings.
Does this work on mobile too?
Yes - tap the three dots on any recommended channel and choose “Not Interested”.
Will hiding channels affect my Following page?
No. Your Following page only shows channels you have followed. This only affects the homepage recommendations.
Final Thoughts
Cleaning up your Twitch recommendations takes just a few clicks but makes the homepage much more enjoyable. Use the “Not Interested” option freely and follow the games and streamers you love to train the algorithm.
Want even cleaner recommendations? Follow more of the content you enjoy and regularly use the three-dot menu on anything you do not like.
