How to Check When a YouTube Channel Was Created
Three ways to find a YouTube channel's real creation date — on the About page, with a free checker, and what to watch for when a seller shows you one.
When you buy an aged channel, the age is what you're paying for. Always check it yourself — it takes half a minute.
1. The channel's About section
Open the channel on YouTube, tap the description under the channel name (or “more”), and look for Joined with a date. That's the registration date, and it never changes — not after a rename, not after a new handle.
2. A free age checker
Paste the channel link into our YouTube channel age checker. It shows the creation date, the exact age and the channel's public stats.
3. Red flags when a seller shows you the date
- A screenshot instead of a link — ask for the channel link and check it yourself.
- The oldest video is much older than the Joined date — videos can be uploaded with old titles, but the channel date is what counts.
- The seller won't tell you the channel before payment — you can't verify anything.
On LegacyChannels every listing shows the registration date and you can reveal the channel ID before buying. Browse aged channels.
