Huya Live (Chinese: 虎牙直播) is a Chinese video live streaming platform focused on video games and esports, operated by Huya Inc. (NYSE: HUYA). It is one of China’s two largest game live‑streaming services alongside DouYu and carries official esports broadcasts as well as user‑generated streams. Huya Inc. is controlled by Tencent Holdings Limited. Outside mainland China, the service operates in selected overseas markets under the Nimo TV brand.

On 24 November 2014, it was announced that YY.com's video streaming service would begin operating independently as Huya Live.

On 4 January 2018, Riot Games gave Huya Live exclusive rights to broadcast the LCK, South Korea's professional esports league for League of Legends, in China. The same was done for the LCS and LEC on 20 January 2020, the equivalent leagues in North America and Europe respectively.
