Sidemen Charity Match 2025 LIVE!
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. Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog below!
Kick-off time: 3pm, Wembley Stadium

This is quite the half-time break.
16:16 , Alex Young
Oh, and now KSI is doing some of his music.
16:13 , Alex Young
KSI is in the tunnel watching AJ Tracey.
16:09 , Alex Young
AJ Tracey is the surprise half-time performance.
16:08 , Alex Young
A stunning amount of money raised before the second half begins.
16:04 , Alex Young
Speed says he has put himself up front for the second half.
He's also done a bark.
15:59 , Alex Young
We will be treated to a special musical guest soon, we're told.
15:58 , Alex Young
It's been an absolute feast in the first half.
He may have conceded four goal, but Sketch in goal has been great.
Maybe wear contact lenses next time though, yeah?
15:50 , Alex Young
46min: Breathless! There's the whistle.
15:49 , Alex Young
45min: Seconds after the post stops Aarons scoring a bizarre own goal, Tobi cooly slots home from the edge of the area.
It's all square!
15:46 , Alex Young
42min: Weller whips in a fierce drive, which has too much spice on it for Sketch to keep out.
15:43 , Alex Young
39min: A super stop from Sketch as Minter lines one up from the edge of the area!
15:40 , Alex Young
36min: Baker is back off and Chunkz is back on.
15:38 , Alex Young
34min: This is relentless.
Speed is offside but leaves the ball for Baker to run through and slam the ball past XQC.
15:35 , Alex Young
31min: Minter drills home from the edge of the area, plenty of pace but question marks over the keeper.
15:33 , Alex Young

15:31 , Alex Young
26min: Speed looks for the ball but he's a good seven yards offside.
15:28 , Alex Young
23min: Some more substitutes, including Clarke on for the Sidemen.
15:26 , Alex Young
22min: Niko looks destined to tuck home when one on one, but KSI slides in and makes the tackle... and uses a hand. No penalty, though.
15:22 , Alex Young
18min: Baker heads home a lofted corner delivery from ChrisMD!
KSI was out-jumped and the goalkeeper was stranded.
15:20 , Alex Young
16min: Baker with a perfect pass to set up Niko for an almost open goal... but he's shanked it wide!
Gasps around the ground. A sitter.
15:18 , Alex Young
14min: Deji, Baker and Aarons are on the YouTube Allstars.
15:16 , Alex Young
12min: ChrisMD with a stunner of a free kick from 25 yards, but big question marks over XQC in goal.
15:15 , Alex Young
11min: XQC makes the save! It's a miserable penalty from Mr Beast.
15:14 , Alex Young
10min: End to end as Niko is wiped out.
Mr Beast to take...
15:11 , Alex Young
7min: Weller cooly slots home for the first goal!
He celebrates by being suplexed by Paul.
15:11 , Alex Young
6min: Weller thinks he has scored but AngryGinge is on the line to make the block.
Replays show an arm was used... so it's a penalty!
15:10 , Alex Young
5min: Sidemen with all the attack intent in these opening stages.
15:07 , Alex Young
3min: Almost a perfect cross from TBJZL into the area but a tad too high for Paul.
15:05 , Alex Young
1min: Theo Baker lasts less than 20 seconds.
Good impact from that man.
15:04 , Alex Young
1min: Here we go!
15:01 , Alex Young
Mark Clattenburg is the referee today.
15:00 , Alex Young
Here come the teams!
14:57 , Alex Young
A late change for Sidemen as JME replaces Weller in the starting lineup.
14:50 , Alex Young
Commentator Spencer Owen has confirmed that over £1million has already been raised.
Fantastic to hit that milestone before kick-off.
14:42 , Alex Young
Both teams are heading back to their dressing rooms. Not long to go now.
14:35 , Alex Young
KSI and Speed with a bit of bad-mouthing before the game.
14:27 , Alex Young
Just over half an hour until kick-off at Wembley.
14:14 , Alex Young
Emile Heskey, Jermain Defoe and Eni Aluko are on punditry duty.
14:11 , Alex Young
Pitchside presenters Elz the Witch and comedian Munya Chawawa have kicked off the live coverage.
14:00
Wembley is filling up nicely. An hour until kick-off for this sell-out clash.
13:51 , Alex Young
A peek inside the dressing rooms.
13:45 , Alex Young
So, the teams are as expected.
Logan Paul will be patrolling midfield for Sidemen FC, up against Chunkz.
Plenty of talent on the benches.
13:35 , Alex Young
Sidemen XI: XQC; Vikkstar123, KSI, Wroteshaw, Rober; TBJZL, Behzinga, Paul, Weller; Miniminer, Zerkaa
YouTube Allstars XI: Sketch; MrBeast, AngryGinge13, Max Fosh, Fanum; IShowSpeed, Chunkz, ChrisMD, Cenat; Theo Baker, Niko.
13:25 , Alex Young
For the Allstars, Niko and Theo Baker should start up front, with Chunkz the midfield general and Kai Cenat flying down the left wing.
AngryGinge will need that temper of us to marshall the backline, and Sketch is expected to be in goal.
13:13 , Alex Young
The shirt numbers, you may have noticed, are not the most traditional, so positions are not the clearest.
We are expected Zerkaa and Miniminter to start up front for the Sidemen, with the likes of Weller on the left wing and Behzinga in central midfield.
KSI should start in defence, having played in goal two years ago.
Sidemen head coach Calfreezy has put himself on the bench - will he be subbing himself on?
13:01 , Alex Young
Back in 2023, The Sidemen beat YouTube All-Stars 7-5 in an entertaining charity match at the London Stadium.
KSI, playing in goal so as not to pick up an injury ahead of his boxing match with Tommy Fury next month, led his team to victory and saved a penalty from iShowSpeed on a fantastic afternoon of action in east London.
More than £1m was raised for various causes as the Sidemen Charity Football Match hits new heights. Played last year at the Valley Stadium in Charlton, appearing in front of a sold-out crowd at the home of West Ham represents a major step up in appeal.
While crossover football does not yet have the appeal of crossover boxing, big names in the world of YouTube delighted supporters at one of the biggest grounds in England. On a day meant to provide support to many worthy causes, the Sidemen continue to break new ground.
12:50 , Alex Young
Spencer Owen and Stephen Tries will be manning the microphones today.
Pitchside on presenting duties will be Elz the Witch and comedian Munya Chawawa.
12:40 , Alex Young
Sidemen manager: Calfreezy
Allstars manager: TheBurntChip
12:32 , Alex Young
YouTube sensation iShowSpeed will captain the YouTube All-Stars, with the likes of Chunkz, George Clarke, Kai Cenat, Deji, Max Fosh, Joe Weller, Fanum, JME, Sketch joining him.
Sidemen FC are looking to retain their title after winning the game 8-5 two years ago in a match held at the London Stadium.
Since the series began in 2016, the games have raised millions for charity. Two years ago, the game raised over £2.4million for charities Teenage Cancer Trust and CALM.
