Sidemen Charity Match announcement made as 2025 return confirmed and ticket details
The Sidemen Charity Match is set to return in 2025.
The YouTube charity game has gained huge traction since it first burst on to the scene in 2016. And following the success of the previous five matches, Sidemen have confirmed that it's coming back for a sixth time.
An announcement on the official Sidemen X, formerly known as Twitter, account read: "The Sidemen Charity Match returns. Sign up at sidemenfc.com to get the latest updates."
Ticket information is expected to be released on Sunday, November 10. Reacting to the tweet, KSI said: "It's finally time. Our BIGGEST one yet!" Meanwhile, Tobi Brown retweeted with three face holding back tears emojis.
Fans were delighted to hear about the return of the charity match. One said: "We will be there no matter what." Another added: "PLS I NEED TO BE THERE!" A third wrote, "OMG I pray that I am able to go this time." A fourth said: "Where will it be held? I’ve registered!" A fifth added: "Got to be at Wembley. Bigger than West Ham."
Previous editions of the match have seen internet superstars such as KSI, Chunkz, IShowSpeed, MrBeast, Calfreezy, Jme, Chris MD, Angry Ginge and Noah Beck take to the pitch.

The last time the charity match took place was at West Ham's London Stadium in September 2023, when 62,000 fans attended. The game finished 8-5 to the Sidemen, with Manny notably scoring a hat-trick. Meanwhile, Chris MD and Chunkz both netted for the YouTube Allstars, who have only won once in five previous attempts.
Sidemen member Vikkstar123 said after the game: "Amazing what a game, what an atmosphere. Huge thanks to everyone who flew out to play and everyone in the stadium who kept it all running.
"All of our team who put together something we could never comprehend, and I hear we've absolutely smashed target from last year of £1million raised, so we'll find out later on just how much we've raised."
