Big YouTube Names Face Off in 2026 Charity Soccer Showdown

Wembley Stadium, London, United KingdomSat Apr 18 2026
The world’s most famous YouTube creators are splitting into two teams for the 2026 charity soccer match at Wembley Stadium. Instead of the usual setup where the Sidemen face YouTube All Stars, three big names from the Sidemen—KSI, Miniminter, and Behzinga—have switched sides this year. The goal? To make the game even more unpredictable and exciting. Fans will now have to pick which goals feel better based on who scores them. Last year’s match pulled in over 90, 000 live fans and raised $6. 4 million for charity. Eight million more watched online as the game ended in a wild 9-9 tie, decided by a penalty shootout. iShowSpeed scored the winning kick, giving YouTube All Stars their first victory ever. With the teams rearranged this time, no one knows who will come out on top.
The Sidemen FC squad includes familiar faces like Zerkaa, Vikkstar, and TBJZL, while YouTube All Stars has a mix of international stars such as Squeezie, Ibai, and Mrwhosetheboss. The change in team lineups means more competition and drama. KSI mentioned that fans might cheer differently now, depending on which side their favorite creators are on. One big question is whether iShowSpeed and Logan Paul will join the fun. They’re busy with a wrestling match in Las Vegas the same night, so they won’t be at Wembley. Even with the time difference, they’re sticking to their scheduled event. Their absence leaves fans wondering who else might step up to fill the spotlight. This year’s match isn’t just about bragging rights—it’s a chance for creators to give back. With past events raising millions, the pressure is on to make this one even bigger. The rearranged teams and fresh rivalries could lead to a match that’s more competitive than ever before.
