officially
a national holiday for the internet. Here's everything we know about the upcoming livestream by Kai Cenat.
Kai x LeBron: The Most Unexpected Crossover of 2025?
On June 19, 2025, Kai took to his stream to casually announce that a real-world livestream with LeBron James is officially happening this Saturday, June 21. And he's not just hyped about it, he's practically levitating. 'This s**t gonna be insane!' he shouted, barely containing the energy that's now got all of Twitch — and beyond — waiting on standby.

The Stream Time is Locked
If you're planning your weekend around this stream (as you should), mark your calendar and set that alarm. Kai confirmed the live will start on June 21, 2025, between 12:30 pm to 1:00 pm ET. Yes, it's early, by streamer standards, at least, but absolutely worth dragging yourself out of bed for.
The Maverick Carter Connection
So, how did this iconic link-up come to life? According to Kai, it all started with a chat with Maverick Carter, LeBron's longtime business partner and the brains behind
The Shop
— LeBron's no-filter barbershop talk show. Apparently, Maverick vouched for Kai, told him LeBron 'f**k with him,' and the rest is Twitch history in the making. Kai made it sound like it just
happened
, but fans know this moment's been building up for years.

Now that it's
actually
happening, fans are flooding the comments asking: 'Is Flight coming? What about Cash?' While there's been no official confirmation yet, it wouldn't be a Kai stream without some surprises in the mix.
Twitter Is Already Melting

relentless
