Huya Live (Chinese: 虎牙直播) is a Chinese video live streaming service. The site is one of the largest of its kind in China, and also operates globally as Nimo TV.[3][4] Similar to other streaming services like Loco, the site primarily focuses on video game live streaming and includes official broadcasts of esports competitions.[5] In addition, Huya also has live broadcasts for a variety of other genres, including cooking, traditional sports and "real life" streams.[6]
History
On 24 November 2014, it was announced that YY.com's video streaming service would begin operating independently as Huya Live.[7]
On 4 January 2018, Riot Games gave Huya Live exclusive rights to broadcast the LCK, South Korea's professional esports league for League of Legends, in China.[8] The same was done for the LCS and LEC on 20 January 2020, the equivalent leagues in North America and Europe respectively.[9][10]
Huya had 150 million monthly active users at the start of 2019.[11]
In April 2020, Tencent became the largest shareholder of Huya, having increased its voting power to 50.1%, which reduced JOYY's voting stake from 55.5% to 43%.[2]
