Telegram Channel Boost Levels Guide
See what each Boost level unlocks on a Telegram channel — stories, custom reactions, cover colors, and emoji statuses.
The exact number of boosts needed for each level depends on your channel's subscriber count — Telegram doesn't publish one fixed formula. Check your channel's exact requirement in the app's Boost stats.
What is a Telegram channel Boost?
Subscribers can boost your channel (available with a Telegram Premium subscription), and each new level unlocks extra customization and content features for everyone in the channel.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many boosts does my Telegram channel need to level up?
Telegram doesn't publish one fixed number — each channel needs a different number of boosts to reach the next level, based on its total subscriber count. Check your channel's exact requirement in Telegram's in-app Boost stats.
What do Telegram channel boosts actually unlock?
Higher boost levels unlock more daily stories, custom reactions, extra quote/link styles, custom cover colors and logos, and — at the highest levels — custom emoji statuses and channel backgrounds.

Boosting requires Telegram Premium — a Premium subscriber can gift up to 4 boosts to channels they're a member of at no extra cost beyond their existing subscription.
