by the Sidemen YouTubers in 2016, has raised over \u00a38m for charity across its previous six editions.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s Wembley showdown will look and feel slightly different, with several members of the Sidemen team playing for the YouTube Allstars instead.<\/p>\n<p>The match will need to go some way to topping the excitement and drama delivered by last year\u2019s game, which finished as a rather incredible 9-9 draw before the Allstars prevailed 5-4 in a penalty shootout.<\/p>\n<p>Here is your full guide to the Sidemen Charity Match 2026, including what time it starts, how to watch and the all-important line-ups.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What time does the match start?<\/h2>\n<p>The game will kick-off at<strong> 3pm<\/strong> on Saturday, April 18.<\/p>\n<figure
