What time does Soccer Aid 2022 kick-off, who's playing and what TV channel is it on?

Soccer Aid returns tonight for it's 11th edition as the England and World XI FC face off at the London Stadium. The results from the past 10 read five wins-a-piece, meaning it is all to play for tonight.

The charity football match will see a combination of former players, TV celebrities and singers take part to raise money for UNICEF, helping with its mission of providing vaccines, tackling malnutrition and protecting children in times of crisis, such as the conflict in Ukraine.

Soccer Aid has raised over £60 million since it was created by Robbie Williams and Jonathan Wilkes, and the former Take That man is expected to be present again tonight, although he won’t be playing.
