KingsIsle Live (originally KingsIsle Live!) or simply KI Live is a monthly livestream show on Twitch which features a panel of KingsIsle Entertainment developers, with the show mainly focusing on the Spiral Games Universe MMORPGs Wizard101 and Pirate101 as well as other news and projects related to the studio. The show is streamed on KingsIsle's Twitch channel on the last Thursday of every month, with the VOD usually posted on KingsIsle's YouTube channel within a week. The show debuted on September 17, 2014, originally a two-person livestream co-hosted by Community Managers Tom Purdue and Leala Ulrich. Following Ulrich's departure from KingsIsle in 2016, Leah Ruben took over as co-host. In 2018, Tom Purdue left the show and was replaced with Mathew Anderson. Beginning with the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the show changed formats into its current incarnation as a panel of various KingsIsle developers, sometimes featuring a special guest. The idea of the show having defined hosts was de-emphasized.

During the show, the developers answer questions from fans that use the hashtag #KILive, show off gameplay from KingsIsle games, and talk about any news with KingsIsle. A limited amount of redeemable promo codes are also usually given out, with more added once the stream is uploaded on YouTube. In some cases, the developers have also interviewed featured guests, with some of these including Rob Chestney, Nathan Sumsion, Blaze ShadowHorn, Matthew Fahey, P.J. Hoover, Damon Brown, Renee Wooten, and Todd Place.

Outside of the monthly shows, Mathew Anderson also occasionally hosted "Exploring the Spiral" Community Livestreams under the KingsIsle Live banner in which he played Wizard101 and Pirate101 with the community. KingsIsle developers also hosted Developer Livestreams in which they showed off new game content. In May 2022, KingsIsle announced weekly IslePlay Community Livestreams hosted by Wizard101 Community Manager Kyle "Kyle IceWelder" Donahue and Pirate101 Community Manager Christopher "Hawkules" Willis. In December 2023, KingsIsle began doing Design Livestreams featuring members of the studio's Design team.
