Darts star Luke Littler has been denied a place in the Sidemen Charity Match after KSI, a founding member of the group, rejected his request. The match, featuring content creators and influencers, takes place today at a sold-out Wembley Stadium.
In February, the 19-year-old two-time darts world champion responded to a Sidemen Instagram post about ticket sales, writing: 'Get me in the team Sidemen.' However, during a March appearance on Capital FM, KSI confirmed he had not replied to Littler and stated: 'He's not in.'
KSI explained that the rejection was based on a longstanding rule: only content creators are allowed to play in the Sidemen Charity Match. 'We haven't ever had a celebrity come on to play. That's more for Soccer Aid,' he said. He added that even Justin Bieber would be turned away.
The 2025 edition features the seven Sidemen members against a YouTube Allstars XI, including AngryGinge, IShowSpeed, Logan Paul, and Mr Beast. The match kicks off at 3pm and raises funds for charities Bright Side and M7 Education.
