Sidemen Charity Match 2025 LIVE latest score and goal updates
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.

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!

15:28 , Alex Young
23min: Some more substitutes, including Clarke on for the Sidemen.

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.

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

15:11 , Alex Young
6min: Weller thinks he has scored but AngryGinge is on the line to make the block.

15:10 , Alex Young

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

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.

Golden Retriever Owner Checks Pet Cam, Hysterics As She Isn't in Crate
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. In a viral TikTok video, a dog owner from Greater Philadelphia checks his ring camera while he is at work, but he's not prepared for what he finds his golden retriever doing. The hilarious clip, shared on Tuesday under the username @ shows footage from his pet cam featuring the pup, Rosie, wondering around the living room while she is supposed to be crated. "What are you doing? How did you get out of your crate?" he can be heard telling the pup, as she tilts her head sideways, trying to understand where the voice is coming from. "POV [point of view]: You see this on your ring while you're at work and your dog is supposed to be in her crate," the owner writes in the clip. "Took full advantage of her crate door falling off this morning," he adds in the caption. Leaving your dog home alone is often unavoidable, so it is important to prepare them gradually to avoid stress or even separation anxiety, says Nirvana Vets. You can start by increasing the time they are alone while you are at home, then extend it to short absences. To keep your dog happy and entertained while you are out, walk them beforehand to tire them out both mentally and physically. You should ensure that they have water, and food if needed, and offer a long-lasting treat or puzzle toy for stimulation. Leaving the television or radio on quietly can provide comfort, and YouTube even has 'Dog TV' options, with programs such as bird watching or virtual walks. It is also important that you avoid making a big fuss when leaving or returning, and that you keep it calm and routine-based. Create a cozy, safe space with their bed, toys, and an item with your scent. Dogs shouldn't be left for more than four hours; if necessary, arrange for a sitter or dog walker.

Amid 'RushTok' craze, sorority season has parents spending big and stressing hard
For some mothers, the sorority rush isn't just their daughter's rite of passage — it's theirs too. With "rush week" underway on campuses across the country and documented amid the viral "RushTok" trend, the spotlight is on not only potential new members but also their moms. Some of them go to great lengths to secure a coveted bid for their daughters in ways even fellow parents say can turn an already punishing process into a high-stakes family drama. "For every girl going through rush, there's a mom behind her [who] wants it as bad as she does," rush coach Brandis Bradley said in the trailer for the new Lifetime series, "A Sorority Mom's Guide to Rush!" "I might want it more," one mom admitted in the same trailer. Another said she was living "vicariously" through her daughter's experience. And yet another said that a rush budget, to her, is "nonexistent." Some families spend as much as $10,000 preparing their daughters — from luxury accessories and designer wardrobes to stylists and coaches charging as much as $5,000 to guide girls through the interview process, according to reports. That's all before the annual dues and housing fees, which can top $15,000 if the young women are accepted into a chapter. "When the personal and emotional investment of a parent in their child's activities becomes extreme, it's usually motivated by one of two simple explanations," said Seth Meyers, a Los Angeles-based clinical psychologist and host of the YouTube channel "Dr. Seth: Psychologist." "The parents either didn't have those opportunities themselves and try to overcompensate for that loss by making sure their child has those opportunities, or they had a particular experience and strongly believe their child having the same experience is important for both the child's future and for the closeness of the mother-daughter bond," Meyers told Fox News Digital. But too much involvement can backfire. Daughters may feel added anxiety about failing, disappointing their mothers or admitting disinterest in something their parents want so much, Meyers warned. "It can be easy to forget how challenging the college years are," he added. "The experience of rushing – while exciting – temporarily adds to their stress and also yields serious upset if the process doesn't go the way they hoped." While fraternity recruitment is often described as a casual "open invite," the sorority rush can be "downright cruel," Daniel Karon, an Ohio-based attorney and fraternity chapter advisor, told Fox News Digital. "It can involve dances, skits, dressing a certain way, submitting resumes, recommendation letters or portfolios, touring each house at least once and suffering through a mutual selection process," said Karon, who is a fraternity alum himself and parent of kids who were part of Greek life. "This is how sorority rush worked in my wife's day – and it's how it still works today," he added. "It's a punishing, unnecessary and twisted process that does nothing to facilitate and foster the mental health that's so essential to freshmen women." While parents attempt to tip the scales, others argue the best approach is to step back. Marva Bailer, a University of Maryland Kappa Delta alum and mother of a sorority graduate, said she paid her own sorority fees while working her way through college. "Parents have to let go. You can't put a Band-Aid on everything." "My attitude has always been, 'Figure things out yourself, because I'm not going to be there next to you in the interview or the office,'" Bailer told Fox News Digital. "But there are many moms who still feel they need to pick up all the school supplies, lost lunches and shoes that their kids forgot." Bailer, an Atlanta-based author, said the sorority rush can feel like an outlet for parents grappling with identity as children leave home. "Rush feels like an opportunity to still influence their daughter's experience," she said. "But [children] have to experience failure, disappointment and make decisions on their own," she added. "Parents have to let go. You can't put a Band-Aid on everything." She emphasized that sorority life offers far more than themed parties and photo ops. Her daughter's chapter, Sigma Kappa at the University of Georgia, for example, helped raise $1 million for the Children's Miracle Network while she was there. "Rush looks like a party, but it's really about skills – planning, community bonding and networking," Bailer said.
