2026 YouTube University Ranking

Introduction

What are the most popular Canadian Universities on YouTube? uniRank answers this question by publishing the 2026 YouTube University Ranking (August 2026 data) of all Canadian higher-education institutions on YouTube meeting the following uniRank selection criteria:

  • being chartered, licensed or accredited by the appropriate higher education-related organization in Canada
  • offering at least three-year bachelor's degrees or postgraduate master's or doctoral degrees
  • delivering courses predominantly in a traditional, non-distance education format

The aim of the uniRank YouTube University Ranking is to offer an approximate popularity index for each Canadian university on the YouTube social media platform, based on the total number of subscribers.
