What points do in LIVE Fest

LIVE Fest ranks creators with points. TikTok’s Event Rules say points collected in each phase rank creators on leaderboards, and top creators receive rewards and honor titles. Diamonds are a separate measure. The rules say Diamonds reflect engagement and popularity, and Rewards are separate from any Diamonds TikTok allocates.

Early points from the sign-up missions carry into the overall Power League leaderboard on a 1:1 basis. What TikTok LIVE Fest 2026 is and how to join covers that sign-up window. After sign-up, each league has its own ways to add points. The amounts below are the ones TikTok printed in the campaign videos and Event Rules. The public overview is on the LIVE Fest page. If your campaign page shows another rate, use the page.

How Power League scores a LIVE

TikTok’s Power League video says creators turn Gifts and Votes into points. The on-screen rates are:

Source in the Power League video Rate shown
Gifts 1 Coin = 1 point
FEST Gifts 1 Coin = 2 points
Vault Gifts 1 Coin = 2 points
Votes 1 Vote = 1 point

The Event Rules match two of those lines in plain text: regular Gifts are 1 Coin = 1 point, and Votes convert at 1 Vote = 1 point. Votes have to be sent manually during Power League, Fandom League, Talent League, and the global finals. For global finals, the rules add a separate line: Vault Gifts sent in combo are 1 Coin = 4 points.

Three bonuses sit on top of that base.

Double Blast gives 2x points for 30 minutes, according to the Power League one-pager. Creators can unlock one each day by collecting a Diamond amount shown on the page, or by finishing among the top creators of the day. It expires the same day. If the LIVE ends before it expires, the bonus ends and cannot be resumed.

Bonus Hour is a daily window of 2x points. The Power League video labels it 21:00–22:00. The one-pager fills the clock time in from the campaign, so confirm the hour and the time zone on your page. Double Blast cannot run while Bonus Hour is active.

Match bonus adds the highest-scoring LIVE match of the day. In rounds 2 and 3, creators can start more than one match, and the highest score is added to points on a 1:1 basis.

In Power League rounds 2 and 3, TikTok adds the highest-scoring LIVE match of the day to Fest points.

Tip Read the bonus out loud when it starts. Viewers can only send the Gifts and Votes that the timer is actually counting.

Fandom League and Talent League

Fandom League runs December 9 to 15, 2026. The Fandom video says creators compete in one of six tracks across two rounds. The rules assign those tracks from the number of active fans a creator has, as of a date and time printed on the campaign page.

The Fandom video scores FEST Gifts at 1 Coin = 2 points, regular Gifts at 1 Coin = 1 point, and Votes at 1 Vote = 1 point. Gifters also count. The video leaves the gifter rate as a value on the campaign page, so do not assume a number. One viewer’s daily contribution through FEST Gifts or regular Gifts is capped at 300,000 points. Match bonus here is different: the highest-scoring match of the day that uses the 1-Coin FEST Gift counts as 5x points, and only that match counts. Double Blast is again 2x for 30 minutes. A Double Blast unlocked by advancing can be saved for the regional and global Fandom stages.

Talent League uses Music, Dancing, and Gaming tracks and two rounds. The Talent video states the audition lines this way: Music is for music-certified creators, Dancing asks for 3 dance LIVEs in the past 7 days with at least 5% dance content, and Gaming asks for at least 50% gaming content across 14 days. Creators who are not pre-assigned can select a track on the campaign page. Once the track is confirmed, the rules say the LIVE has to keep showing that talent, or the creator may be removed from Talent League.

The Talent video scores Music and Dancing FEST Gifts, including interactive Gifts, at 1 Coin = 2 points, with 1 Vote = 1 point, 1 gifter = 100 points, and 100 viewers = 40 points. Gaming on that video uses regular Gifts at 1 Coin = 1 point, FEST Gifts at 1 Coin = 2 points, 1 Vote = 1 point, 1 gifter = 100 points, and 1 Super Fan = 500 points. Take the Stage is a Music and Dancing bonus. The rules say the highest-scoring Take the Stage of the day counts as 5x points, attempts are unlimited, and a session that crosses midnight counts on the day it ends.

Crossover League

Crossover League is the path for short-video creators who also go LIVE. TikTok’s video says every post, LIVE, and new follower can move the score, and that level rewards sit at 25,000, 100,000, and 200,000 points. The Event Rules and that video agree on these rates:

  • Views 100 points for every 1,000 views.
  • Likes 10 points for every like on videos posted.
  • Gifts, first three LIVE days 10 points for each Gift.
  • Coins, from LIVE day four 1 point for each Coin used on any Gift.
  • Fan Club 50 points for each new fan.
  • Followers 1 point for every 10 new followers. Duplicate followers do not count.

The rules also say a valid LIVE of at least 25 minutes is worth 100 points, and that inviting an eligible short-video creator who signs up is worth 100 points, up to 10 invites. A daily LIVE reward is also described: one valid LIVE of at least 25 minutes can bring a Promote coupon, or a flare in the version of the rule written for some markets.

The points for each day a creator goes LIVE are the line to double-check. The Crossover video shows 1 LIVE day = 100 points. A rules string says 200 points for each day a creator goes LIVE. Follow the number on your campaign page.

How tracks and rounds work

Power League does the track split before the league starts. Creators in the same region are placed using the highest number of Diamonds collected in any single month during the six-month period, as of the date in the rules. The number of tracks changes by region. This is the 2026 use of Diamonds. The campaign strings do not name a Diamond Track. That name is how TikTok labeled a 2024 result, including “LIVE FEST 2024 2nd Place US Diamond Track” for Thundrr.

The Power League one-pager then describes the path. In round 1, how many creators advance depends on the track. TikTok has not published one universal cutoff. Advancing creators merge into three tracks for the later rounds: Legend, Crown, and Rising. Round 3 keeps those three tracks, and top creators from them advance to the global finals. The public page dates the whole Power League from November 20 to December 6, 2026, and the global finals from December 17 to 21. The day-by-day round calendar is inside the app.

Points can carry forward. The rules say creators carry over 5% of their points from one round to the next, with a maximum that varies by track. The cap is printed under that rule on the campaign page.

At the global finals, top creators from Power League, Fandom League, and Talent League compete on global boards inside their tracks. A creator may be listed on up to three boards at once. The global track names in the rules include Power: Legend, Power: Crown, Power: Rising, Fandom, Music, Dancing, and Gaming.

Your track is a starting group based on recent Diamonds or fans. The points you collect during the round decide who moves on.

How to prepare

Preparation is the part you can do before the board opens. Update the app, sign up if you want the early points, and read the track you were given. Tell viewers that Votes have to be sent manually, and that 1 Vote = 1 point in the rules. LIVE Fest 2026 eligibility, prizes, and rules covers what fans can do, and what conduct can remove a score.

  1. Know the hour Confirm Bonus Hour on your page before you tell anyone a clock time.
  2. Spend Double Blast while you are on Ending the LIVE ends the 30 minutes.
  3. Keep one strong LIVE match Only the highest match of the day is added in the rounds that count it.
  4. Stay on the track you confirmed Talent League can remove a creator who stops showing that talent.

A manager can help you turn that page into a week you can actually host. At Thundrr, a TikTok LIVE agency and creator network, every creator gets a dedicated creator manager. Thundrr is free to join, with no fee, no cut of your Diamonds, and no contract. Nothing in that support promises a rank. TikTok confirms the official points after each module.

How to get more viewers on TikTok LIVE is the everyday version of the same work: a schedule people can plan around, and a LIVE that gives them a reason to stay.

Heads up Screenshot the rate on your campaign page before a round starts. Videos and rules agree on the rates above, and a later in-app update is the one that counts.

Questions

How do LIVE Fest 2026 points work?

Creators collect points from Votes and from Coins spent on Gifts during LIVE. Those points rank creators on leaderboards. The rate for each Gift type is on the campaign page, and the Power League video shows regular Gifts at 1 Coin = 1 point.

Is there a Diamond Track in LIVE Fest 2026?

TikTok’s 2026 campaign copy does not use that name. Power League assigns tracks from Diamonds collected in recent months, and later rounds use Legend, Crown, and Rising.

What is Double Blast?

TikTok’s Power League one-pager says Double Blast gives 2x points for 30 minutes. It expires the day it is unlocked, it ends if you end the LIVE, and it does not run while Bonus Hour is active.

How does TikTok assign Power League tracks?

Eligible creators in the same region are split by the highest number of Diamonds collected in any single month during a six-month window. The date and the number of tracks are on the campaign page, because both vary by region.

Do LIVE matches count in LIVE Fest?

Yes. In Power League rounds 2 and 3, the highest-scoring LIVE match of the day is added to points on a 1:1 basis. Fandom League uses a 5x bonus on the highest-scoring match of the day that uses the 1-Coin FEST Gift.
