YouTube Channel Age Checker
Find out precisely how old a YouTube channel is. Enter the channel's join date — shown on its About page under "Joined" — and get the exact age in years, months and days, plus total days, the day of the week it was created, and a countdown to its next anniversary.
Straight to the point
How can I check how old a YouTube channel is?
Open the channel's About page and look for the "Joined" date — that's when the channel was created. Enter that date into this checker and it calculates the exact age in years, months and days, plus the total number of days and the next anniversary. It works for any public channel, including your own.
Where do I find a channel's creation date?
On desktop, go to the channel, open the About tab, and find the "Joined" line with a date like "Joined Mar 5, 2015". On mobile, tap the channel, then the About section. Copy that date into this tool to get a precise age breakdown.
What makes the Channel Age Checker useful

What is the Channel Age Checker?
The Channel Age Checker calculates the precise age of a YouTube channel from its creation (join) date — years, months, days, total days and the next anniversary.

- • Remember the join date reflects account creation, not necessarily first content.

- • Reading the date from a re-shared profile rather than the channel's own About page.
- • Entering a future date by mistake.
