Soccer Aid is back for 2020, and here's all the celebrity lineups, date and ticket details we know so far.
Robbie Williams, Olly Murs and Usain Bolt have launched the eighth charity football match in aid of Unicef, and it will return this summer at Old Trafford.
The match takes place at the Manchester United stadium on Saturday, June 6 - the first time the match will take place on a Saturday night.
Soccer Aid for Unicef co-founder and Unicef UK Ambassador Robbie Williams said: “It is a privilege to be a part of this game. I’ve been to parts of the world where this money goes and seen how desperately the assistance is needed by children – it brought me to tears.
"We can all help play a small part in making things better with Soccer Aid on Saturday 6th June at Old Trafford.”

Last year, the match was staged at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge, with penalties again deciding the result – this time England losing out.
