The 2025 edition of the Sidemen Charity Match featured all seven Sidemen members against a YouTube Allstars XI. The Sidemen roster for the 2025 match includes Jack Joseph, Zerkaa, W2S, Vikkstar123, TBJZ, Deji, ChrisMD, and xQc. The YouTube Allstars XI for the 2025 match includes AngryGinge, IShowSpeed, Logan Paul, Mr Beast, and several others.
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.
The YouTube side for the 2025 match is managed by Calfreezy and features stars such as Sketch, AngryGinge, KSI, Max Fosh, Mrwhosetheboss, NYKchazza, and Danny Aarons. It remains unknown how much money the event is expected to raise for these charities. Whether Luke Littler has publicly responded to KSI's rejection is not clear.
The specific roles or positions the players will have in the 2025 Sidemen Charity Match have not been disclosed. It is also unknown if other celebrities have made similar requests to participate or if there are any exceptions to the 'content creators only' rule for future matches.
I think for us we're focusing more on just content creators. That's how it's always been, and even if Justin Bieber wanted to play, we'd go, 'No! Content creators only.'
