You can’t see the “subscribed on” date directly inside normal YouTube pages, but you can get it in two main ways: through your Google activity history, or with a third‑party tool that reads your public subscriptions.

1. Quick answer (most reliable way)

The most stable way right now is through your Google/YouTube history:

  1. Sign in to the Google account you use for YouTube.
  1. Go to your Google activity page (often at myactivity.google.com).
  1. Look for YouTube History or YouTube under products.
  1. Click Manage history.
  1. In the filters or left menu, choose Interactions.
  1. Select Channel subscriptions.

You’ll see a list of channels you subscribed to, each with the exact date (and often time) you subscribed.

2. Method using a third‑party site (xxluke)

If you want a more visual list of all your subscriptions with subscribe dates, you can use the long‑running tool xxluke.de.

2.1. Make your subscriptions public (required)

This only works if your subscriptions are public at the time the tool reads them.

  1. Open YouTube (web or app) and make sure you’re signed in.
  1. Go to Your channel (click your profile picture → “Your channel”).
  1. Edit channel settings and turn off “Keep all my subscriptions private”.

If your subs were private when you originally subscribed, some history may not show correctly.

2.2. Get your channel URL

  1. While on Your channel , copy the URL from the address bar (on desktop) or use the share/copy link option in the app.

2.3. Use the subscription history site

  1. Go to the site that shows YouTube subscription history (commonly xxluke’s page).
  1. Paste your channel URL or channel ID into the input box.
  1. Click Continue.

You’ll get a list of all channels you’re subscribed to with the date you subscribed , usually in reverse chronological order (newest at the top, oldest at the bottom).

3. Limitations you should know

  • YouTube’s own Subscriptions tab only lets you sort by “Most recent,” “New activity,” or “A–Z” and does not show the subscribe date.
  • If you had your subscriptions set to private, third‑party tools may not be able to reconstruct older subscription dates.
  • Google/YouTube history must be turned on; if you disabled history in the past, some older subscriptions might be missing.

4. Mini FAQ

Can I see the first channel I ever subscribed to?
Yes: in Google’s Channel subscriptions history, scroll to the oldest entries; or on xxluke, scroll to the bottom of the list to see your earliest subscription.

Can I see this on mobile only?
Yes, but it’s easier on desktop. On mobile browsers you still go to your Google activity page, open YouTube history → Manage history → Interactions → Channel subscriptions and view the dates.
