Sidemen Charity Match 2023: Date, venue, lineups and how to buy tickets

Popular YouTube group The Sidemen have officially announced their fifth charity football match. The fixture will take place on Saturday, September 9 at West Ham United's London Stadium.

The fixture will see the likes of KSI, W2S and Miniminter join forces with some of the biggest names in the YouTube world, music and sports.

Last year, 25,000 supporters packed into Charlton Athletic's The Valley Stadium to witness the fifth instalment of the event. With more than £1 million raised for charities across the country, this year is due to be bigger and better with a remarkable 62,000 spectators expected to fill the home to the 2012 Olympics.

All proceeds of the event will be donated to charities including suicide prevention charity Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), youth charity Teenage Cancer Trust and wish-granting charity, Rays of Sunshine.

"This is a major milestone for us," Joshua Bradley, known as Zerka, said. "When we first set up this event back in 2016, we never thought we'd be playing in a stadium of over 62,000 people.

"Not only are we able to give back to our loyal fans, but being able to raise further funds for charities that are so close to our hearts give us a lot to be proud and thankful for. We can't wait to see all of you in September."

Following the announcement, Graham Gilmore, CEO of London Stadium, has expressed his excitement of hosting this year's event. “This event goes from strength to strength, with the move to London Stadium demonstrating the success The Sidemen have built over recent years, not only in bringing so many great names together, but raising money for important charities too," he said.

"In addition, we will be delighted to welcome the huge global audience on streaming and digital channels, who will be joining the 60k plus fans in the Stadium!”

Lineups are yet to be announced for the fixture, but will be in due course. Last year, some of the biggest entertainment stars attended with Chunkz, Mr Beast, iShowSpeed and Yung Filly.

Supporters will be able purchase tickets for the charity fixture in July. Alongside the football, fans can expect acts throughout the show with live performances. You can register your interest for tickets, here.
