Sports, celebrity, social media, and charity are coming together this April as an enormous charitable football match lands at London’s Wembley Stadium. The famed Sidemen group of YouTube stars have announced the 2026 edition of the Sidemen Charity Match, which will return to Wembley Stadium once again.
Kicking off on Saturday, April 18, the football event will see The Sidemen (KSI, Simon, Josh, Tobi, Ethan, Vik and Harry) splitting up into teams to compete against each other with celebrity friends. As well as being a thrilling sporting competition, the match will raise money for Bright Side and BBC Children in Need.
Between them, The Sidemen boast some truly jaw-dropping audience numbers. Altogether, they have over 100 million subscribers. The main YouTube channel for The Sidemen boasts 22 million subscribers alone, and their videos have racked up 6 billion views around the world. And now they’re taking it to the football pitch, for some in-person action.
This year’s event is set to be enormous, if last year’s match is any indication. The 2025 Sidemen Charity Match saw all 90,000 tickets selling out in less than 3 hours(!). And the event raised a staggering £4.7 million for charity. It’s no wonder, though, given the match saw the likes of Angry Ginge, George Clarke, IShowSpeed, Logan Paul, Mr Beast, Chunkz, and more taking part, as Sidemen FC took on the YouTube Allstars.
