Sports Mole provides the lowdown on when and where Soccer Aid 2025 will take place, how to watch it, and which celebrities and former footballers will be participating.

The 14th edition of Soccer Aid, the world's biggest charity football match, is nearly upon us and fans are looking forward to watch celebrities and former footballers get together for yet another crunch match between England and a World XI.

Created by popstar Robbie Williams back in 2006, Soccer Aid harnesses the power of football to raise money for UNICEF to ensure that children worldwide have the best possible start in life and can grow up happy and healthy.

Soccer Aid has helped raise more than £100m for UNICEF and all those donations have supported their vital work with families, communities and trusted organisations to create and protect safe spaces for children to play.

Here, Sports Mole provides the lowdown on when and where Soccer Aid 2025 will take place, how to watch it, and which celebrities and former footballers will be participating.
