2 million followers on Instagram. KSI categorically shut down Luke Littler's request to play in the Sidemen Charity Match. KSI stated that he has not responded to Luke Littler's request and that Littler is not in the match.
KSI explained that the Sidemen Charity Match only allows content creators to play, not celebrities. KSI elaborated that the Sidemen have never had a celebrity play in the charity match, as that is more for events like Soccer Aid. KSI insisted that snubbing Luke Littler was not personal and that even celebrities like Justin Bieber would be rejected.
I have not responded, and he's not in.
The Sidemen Charity Match is scheduled for April 18th, 2026, at Wembley Stadium. The 2026 Sidemen Charity Match is sold out. According to sources, the Sidemen Charity Match will be broadcast live on the Sidemen's YouTube channel at 3pm.
The Sidemen Charity Match raises money for charities Bright Side and M7 Education. M7 Education was founded by Sidemen member Simon 'Miniminter' Minter and his brother Nick. Last year's Sidemen Charity Match featured all seven Sidemen members against the YouTube Allstars, including participants like AngryGinge, IShowSpeed, Logan Paul, and Mr Beast.
It sounds so bad, but we only have content creators on the Sidemen Charity Match. So we haven't ever had a celebrity come on to play. That's more for like Soccer Aid. You never know, maybe one day we'll have Soccer Aid versus Sidemen.
This year's line-up for the Sidemen Charity Match has not been confirmed yet.
