The Sidemen charity match has returned for a fifth edition at the sold-out London Stadium – and it's the first time West Ham's ground will play host to the clash.
It's the seventh anniversary of the charity match – which first started in 2016 – and it will see the Sidemen: KSI, W2S, Miniminter, Vikkstar123, Behzinga, Zerkaa, TBJZL and friends take on the YouTube All-Stars.
Fans at the stadium will also be treated to a host of celebrity guests and musical performances – including a half-time show from Aitch.
All proceeds of the event will be donated to four charities: Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), Teenage Cancer Trust, Rays of Sunshine, and the Sidemen's m7 education.

What happened in last year’s Sidemen charity match?
Last year's game was a goal fest, with Sidemen FC running out 8-7 winners at the Valley.
Sidemen FC's Miniminter scored a hat-trick to help his side to the win – and he will be hoping to emulate his feat this year at the London Stadium. IShowSpeed was the big attraction, and he thought he had found the net, only for it to be ruled as offside.
Speed, who had taken his top off to celebrate, chased referee Mark Clattenburg around the pitch after he was booked.
Sidemen fans will be hoping for similar antics this year.
