The Sidemen have achieved another milestone, selling all 90,000 tickets for their upcoming charity football match at London’s Wembley Stadium in less than three hours.
The event, officially called the Sidemen Charity Match 2026, will take place on Saturday, April 18, 2026. Tickets went on general sale on February 2, 2026, ranging from £16.50 to £38, following an earlier presale for Side+ members.
The rapid sell-out surpasses last year’s 2025 edition, which also sold out in about three hours and raised over £4.5 million for charity.
The popular YouTube group—KSI, Miniminter, Zerkaa, TBJZL, Behzinga, Vikkstar123, and W2S—will face a team of YouTube Allstars and other top influencers and streamers. The match will combine football, entertainment, and comedy while supporting charities, including Bright Side and BBC Children in Need.
Celebrating the achievement, the Sidemen posted on X (formerly Twitter):
“The 2026 Sidemen charity match is now sold out, and even quicker than last year! Thank you for being a part of this community.”
The sell-out highlights the Sidemen’s global following, as they have grown from online gaming and challenge videos to hosting one of the UK’s largest creator-led live events—often drawing bigger crowds than traditional celebrity matches like Soccer Aid.
With Wembley at full capacity, expectations are high for another record-breaking fundraiser. Fans who missed tickets can likely watch a livestream on the Sidemen’s YouTube channel, as in previous years.
More updates, including participants and kick-off times, will be shared on sidemenfc.com and their social media channels.
