Soccer Aid TV channel and kick-off time tonight as teams announced

Soccer Aid returns to our screens for the 11th time on Sunday night.

The venture, started in 2006, was the brainchild of singer Robbie Williams and brings together the worlds of football and celebrity to raise money for good causes. Last year's Soccer Aid for Unicef raised a record-breaking £13million, with an England XI taking on a select Rest of the World team for our entertainment.

This time around the focus will be on the war in Ukraine and the people affected by it. England will be captained by singer Liam Payne, while sprinter Usain Bolt will skipper the Rest of the World XI.
