The kickoff for Soccer Aid on Sunday, June 9, 2024, has yet to be determined.

How does Football Aid work?

Since Robbie Williams started the annual charity football game for UNICEF in 2006, it has continued to expand.England will play a World XI, and both teams will consist of an oddly intriguing blend of past players and celebrities. Even if some have never kicked a ball before and previous pros, it still makes for entertaining viewing.After all, you don’t often get to witness Bobby Brazier from Gladiator or Roberto Carlos putting in a devastating challenge on Tom Grennan.

Where can I watch Soccer Aid 2024?

Once more, Soccer Aid will be broadcast live and FREE on ITV1 (England and Wales) and STV (Scotland).ITVX offers a free online streaming option for it as well.
