Sidemen Charity Match 2026: Date, Teams & How to Watch Live
The Sidemen Charity Match 2026 is returning to Wembley Stadium on April 18, 2026 — and for the first time ever, the Sidemen will be split across both sides. KSI, Miniminter, and Behzinga are confirmed for the YouTube Allstars team. Here's everything you need to know.
What Is the Sidemen Charity Match?
The Sidemen Charity Match is the biggest creator-led charity football event in the world. Running since 2016, it pits the Sidemen against a team of top YouTubers and influencers in a full match at Wembley Stadium — one of the most iconic football venues on the planet.
Over the years the series has raised over £8.5 million for British charities. The 2025 edition alone raised a record-breaking £4.7 million for BBC's Children in Need, Sidemen's Bright Side, and M7 Education, with 90,000 fans in attendance.
What's New in 2026: Sidemen Split Across Teams
The biggest change for the Sidemen Charity Match 2026 is that — for the first time in the event's history — the Sidemen will not all play on the same side. The group is being split across both teams: KSI, Miniminter, and Behzinga have been confirmed as YouTube Allstars, facing off against their own group members.
This format change is expected to dramatically increase the drama and entertainment value of the match, as fans will watch the Sidemen go head-to-head against each other in a competitive charity setting.
