“With this charity match, we thought we’d change it up,” said KSI, one of the prominent figures behind the Sidemen Charity Match. This year’s event will take place on April 18, 2026, at Wembley Stadium in London, kicking off at 3 p.m. BST.
The Sidemen FC will face off against the YouTube All Stars, with an expected crowd of around 90,000 spectators filling the iconic stadium. Last year’s match raised an impressive £4.7 million for various charities—a testament to the event’s growing impact.
As KSI noted, “It’s going to be a good time in general. It’s always quite entertaining, and it’s always a fun time with these charity matches.” The excitement is palpable as fans look forward to another thrilling showdown.
The live broadcast will start at 2:10 p.m. BST, ensuring that viewers worldwide can join in on the action. The Sidemen FC is managed by Jack Joseph and boasts a roster of 16 players, while Calfreezy leads the YouTube All Stars with a team of 17.
Historically, the Sidemen have had the upper hand in their matches against the YouTube All Stars—leading with four wins out of six encounters and an all-time aggregate score of 39-26 in their favor.
However, not all familiar faces will be present this year. Logan Paul and iShowSpeed won’t participate due to commitments with WWE, leaving fans wondering how this might affect the dynamics of the match.
As anticipation builds for this charity event—celebrating its tenth anniversary—the community is eager to see how much more can be raised for those in need. Every ticket sold contributes to a greater cause.
Details remain unconfirmed about any special appearances or surprises planned for the day. But one thing is clear: this charity match continues to unite fans and creators alike in support of important causes.
