xQc just got slapped with another Twitch timeout, and this time it’s over five seconds of Kylian Mbappé footage from the ongoing FIFA World Cup. The purple platform hit him with a DMCA strike and 48-hour suspension for the clip, which originally came from X and showed the French star during France’s match against Iraq. Even the streamer himself couldn’t believe it — he called it “that one fucking clip” while going live on Kick to vent about the nonsense.

This isn’t xQc’s first copyright rodeo; he pulled the same Olympics stunt back in 2021 and caught heat again when other big streamers like Jynxzi started getting “copyright school” warnings for the same World Cup content. FIFA doesn’t play around with their match footage, and Twitch is happy to swing the ban hammer the second a claim lands. The streamer was mid-broadcast when the strike came through, forcing an immediate stop to avoid stacking more infractions.

Chat’s eating it up with the usual mix of “skill issue” and “FIFA’s actually cracked down” takes, but the real tea is how aggressively these sports rights holders are monitoring streams right now. xQc shrugged it off as a “good faith” strike that’ll be gone soon, but it’s another reminder that if you’re pulling live sports clips on Twitch, you’re basically speedrunning a suspension. The platform’s zero-tolerance policy just keeps bodies dropping.
