The Sidemen Charity Match is returning to London for what promises to be the biggest game in its 10-year history.

Started in 2015, the Sidemen put together a soccer match featuring content creators to raise money for charity. Over the years, the event grew in size and reach, capturing the attention of viewers not just throughout the UK, but across the globe. Now, the Sidemen are back with a lineup of the most famous creators in the world.

The 2025 edition of the match is set to feature not just the Sidemen, led by KSI, but also IShowSpeed, Kai Cenat, Jynxzi and more. The game will benefit the Sidemen’s charity Bright Side as well as BBC Children in Need.

The Sidemen 2025 Charity Match is set to unfold at a sold-out Wembley Stadium. The iconic stadium holds 90,000 fans and is the largest sports venue in the UK.

YouTube stars The Sidemen head back to Wembley Stadium this afternoon for their latest charity match. The likes of KSI, Wroetoshaw, Miniminter, Behzinga, TBJZL, Vikkstar123 and Zerkaa are set for their biggest stage yet, with a 90,000 sellout at the home of English football. In a sign of their popularity, all tickets were sold out within three hours last year.

Their opponents are YouTube AllStars, with global names such as Logan Paul, iShowSpeed, Kai Cenat and MrBeast all set to play as both teams aim to raise millions for Bright Side and BBC Children in Need. The 2023 match raised £2million for charity, a target which it is hoped will be smashed this year.

This is the sixth Sidemen Charity Match, the first being held in 2016 at Southampton’s St Mary’s and the most recent in 2023 at West Ham’s London Stadium. It has been a staggering rise all involved and for a great cause. Kick-off is at 3pm at Wembley.
