The FotMob app has officially renewed its partnership with the Sidemen, returning as the Official Live Score Partner for the highly anticipated Sidemen Charity Match 2026. The sold-out event is set to take place at Wembley Stadium on April 18, promising another record-breaking spectacle for fans both in the stands and online.
A Creator-Led Football Event Like No Other
The annual Sidemen Charity Match sees Sidemen FC take on the YouTube Allstars, raising millions for UK charities while drawing massive global viewership.
Following last year’s success — which generated over £4.7 million for charity and racked up more than 20 million views on YouTube — the 2026 edition has already smashed expectations, selling out Wembley in under two hours.
This year’s fixture also brings a twist: Sidemen members KSI, Miniminter, and Behzinga will line up for the YouTube Allstars, alongside internet personality Angryginge.
FotMob Brings Premier League-Level Coverage
With over 22 million global users, FotMob will once again deliver elite-level matchday coverage — the same standard used across 500+ professional competitions worldwide. Powered by Opta, fans can expect:
- Real-time live score updates
- Advanced stats including xG and match momentum
- Player heatmaps and ratings
- Personalised news and match insights
This depth of coverage transforms the charity match into a fully immersive football experience — blurring the line between influencer event and elite sport.
Fans Decide the Player of the Match
In a move that further boosts fan engagement, viewers will be able to vote for the Player of the Match exclusively through the FotMob app.
This interactive element reflects the growing influence of data-driven fandom, where supporters don’t just watch — they analyse, debate, and decide outcomes in real time.
A Partnership Built on Viral Success
FotMob’s collaboration with the Sidemen dates back to 2022, when the app first introduced professional-grade analytics to the creator-led event. Since then, the partnership has gone from strength to strength.
On matchday in 2025, FotMob became the most downloaded app on iOS in the UK — even surpassing ChatGPT — highlighting the event’s cultural impact and the demand for deeper match insights.
The brand will also feature prominently during the game, appearing on Wembley’s LED boards and throughout the live broadcast.
A New Benchmark for Digital Sports Events
The Sidemen Charity Match continues to redefine what creator-led sport can achieve. With a combined social reach exceeding one billion followers, the creators involved are driving unprecedented engagement — both on and off the pitch.
Since its launch in 2016, the event has raised more than £8.5 million for charities including:
- NSPCC
- Young Minds
- CALM
- Teenage Cancer Trust
- BBC Children in Need
