The Sidemen have shared the reasons why some popular creators, including MrBeast, Logan Paul, and IShowSpeed, aren’t participating in this year’s charity football match.
The Sidemen’s first charity football match in 2016 featured them and their friends playing against a team of mostly well-known UK YouTubers. Most of those YouTubers created content related to football at the time.
Since then, the teams have featured some of the biggest stars on YouTube and Twitch. MrBeast has participated three times, IShowSpeed has been in the same three games, and xQc has appeared twice.
The lineups for the 2026 Sidemen Charity Match are out, but some popular stars like MrBeast, IShowSpeed, Kai Cenat, and Logan Paul won’t be playing this year, which has upset many fans.
Why aren’t MrBeast, IShowSpeed & Logan Paul at Sidemen Charity Match?
During the latest SideChat podcast, Miniminter mentioned that a few players won’t be participating in the charity match, specifically noting that Speed had initially declined. Zerkaa clarified that Speed hasn’t completely ruled it out, explaining he has a reason for not being able to play, but there’s still a possibility he might be able to join.
Miniminter explained that Logan Paul is wrestling at WWE WrestleMania, which prevents him from attending. Kai Cenat suggested finding someone else to take his place, but that request hasn’t been approved.
He mentioned MrBeast declined their request, and other members of the Sidemen explained they’ve reached out to others but haven’t been able to confirm anyone’s participation yet.

This year’s game teams have been announced, and several popular players are participating, including Jynzxi, Ibai, JasonTheWeen, Stable Ronaldo, and Fanum.
Sidemen FC is also planning a surprise player reveal, just like the anonymous players featured in the Baller League.
Speed might show up and play at the last minute, but we’ll just have to wait and find out.
