Soccer Aid 2023: When it's on, who's playing and how you can watch

The world’s biggest celebrity football match, Soccer Aid, is back. The star-studded event, which was founded by Robbie Williams and Jonathan Wilkes in 2006, will once again be raising money for UNICEF UK, a charity it has already raised £75 million for.

A whole host of famous names from music, film, TV and sport will get together to compete in two teams - England vs Soccer Aid World XI FC. Last year's event took place at London Stadium and ended 4-1 on penalties to Soccer Aid World XI, taking them into the overall 6-5 lead since the inaugural 2006 match.

This year Soccer Aid for UNICEF will take place at Old Trafford, home to Manchester United, on Sunday, June 11. For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
