Sidemen Charity Match 2025: how to watch, confirmed teams, tickets, half-time show and kick-off time
KSI and the Sidemen are back with the Sidemen Charity Match 2025 - here’s what’s happening and how you can watch.
The popular Sidemen streaming team are once again hosting their Sidemen Charity Match at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 8 March – and we’ve got all the details on what’s happening, how you can watch and whether you can get tickets to one of the biggest charity events of the year below.
The game returns to the home of English football after a one-year hiatus, with streamer KSI again leading the Sidemen into action against the YouTube Allstars, with money raised going to Bright Side and BBC Children In Need. Last time out, nearly £2.5m was raised for good causes and it’s hoped that even more will be donated this time around.
When that event took place, in 2023, the Sidemen beat the Allstars 8-5 in front of a sell-out crowd – so what’s happening this time around, where and how can you watch, and who’s playing for the two teams?
How to watch the Sidemen Charity Match 2025
The match kicks off at 15:00 GMT on Saturday, and you can watch the entirety of the game live on the official Sidemen YouTube channel, meaning that anyone can access the match from their digital device or smart TV - and they can also donate to this year’s supporter charities via YouTube as well.
Those hoping to attend in person will be less fortunate, however, as the event sold out quickly and there are no more seats left at Wembley for Saturday’s charitable extravaganza - but for those lucky enough to have bagged tickets while they were still on sale can get in to Wembley from 13:00, or an hour early for those with hospitality packages.
It took less than three hours for all of the seats at the 90,000-capacity arena to be sold this time around, but you can still join the millions expected to tune in for the game online. The stream will be presented by streamer Elz The Witch and comedian and Taskmaster star Munya Chawawa.
Viewers can also expect a half-time show for the first time in a similar vein to entertainment on show at the Super Bowl – but it has not been announced who will take on Kendrick Lamar’s role of providing the tunes. The 2023 edition of the charity event saw ‘Close to Home’ rapper Aitch provide the half-time entertainment.
Who’s taking part this year?
KSI will once again lead the Sidemen into action, with fellow members W2S, Zerkaa, Vikktstar123, Behzinga, Tobi and Minimeter all expected to be involved.
As for the YouTube Allstars, a host of world-renowned streamers and content creators will be taking part, including captain Darren ‘IShowSpeed’ Watkins and British star Amin ‘Chunkz’ Mohamed.
The full list of YouTubers set to take part in Saturday’s showdown is as follows: IShowSpeed, Joe Weller, Chris MD, AngryGinge, JME, George Clarke, LazarBeam, Calfreezy, Niko Omilana, Max Fosh, Manny, WillNE, Callux, Chunkz, Mark Rober, Randolph, Theo Baker, Deji, Danny Aarons. Twitch streamers xQc, Fanum, Stable Ronaldo, Jynxzi and Kai Cenat will also be involved in the match.
