La Velada del Año 6, organised by Spanish creator Ibai Llanos, took place on July 25, 2026, at Seville’s Estadio La Cartuja. Its 10-bout card brought together 20 Ibero-American content creators, up from seven fights in the previous edition. Pre-event online voting showed audience favourites across several matchups, including Edu Aguirre against Gastón Edul, La Parce against Fabiana Sevillano, Clersss against Natalia MX, Lit Killah against Kidd Keo, and IlloJuan against TheGrefg. Those preferences captured expectations before fight night, not the results in the ring.
The format gave boxing a larger role while keeping music and entertainment in the programme. Performers included Bad Gyal and Anuel AA, with Juanes and Yandel also on the bill. The programme also featured a tribute to Argentine creator Gaspi, who died in June. Seville hosted the event for a second consecutive year, following the fifth edition in 2025. Since its launch in 2021, La Velada has grown from a creator boxing exhibition into a large-scale live entertainment production.
Post-event coverage named La Parce and Natalia MX among the winners, along with Edu Aguirre and Marta Díaz. Gero Arias and Angie Velasco were also listed, as were Lit Killah and RoRo. YoSoyPlex and TheGrefg completed the reported winners. In two of the card’s headline bouts, La Parce defeated Fabiana Sevillano and Natalia MX beat Clersss. Edu Aguirre won against Gastón Edul, while TheGrefg defeated IlloJuan in the basic event. The gap between pre-fight favourites and final outcomes showed that online support reflected audience expectations, not results in the ring.
Organisers streamed the event free on Twitch and YouTube, with TikTok carrying it simultaneously. It ran for more than eight hours and drew approximately 80,000 people to La Cartuja. El Colombiano reported a peak of 8.73 million devices connected at the same time, while Europa Press, cited by La Región, put the cumulative audience at more than 34 million unique devices. These figures measure different things: simultaneous connections at the peak and distinct devices over the event. The reported unique-device total exceeded the 20.5 million recorded in 2025.
The live crowd and online audience show how the event brings a stadium production together with a transnational digital broadcast. Its reach has helped make La Velada one of Spain’s largest creator-led entertainment productions, bringing internet personalities into a format associated with live sport while keeping music and spectacle basic to the programme.
After the 2026 edition, Llanos announced a Netflix agreement that will change the event’s distribution in subsequent years. Spanish coverage reported that Netflix acquired rights to La Velada del Año VI, VIII and IX, with a new exclusive streaming phase described as beginning in 2027. The deal shifts the event away from the free, multi-platform broadcast used in 2026 and toward a global subscription service.
The event’s popularity also reflects the growing cultural reach of digital creators in Spain. That influence extends beyond boxing and entertainment, including interest in Spanish athletes such as Paula Badosa and her progress on the international tennis circuit. Her run to the Bastad final and its implications for her US Open entry were covered in a report on her comeback journey.
