talkSPORT to air Soccer Aid live coverage

talkSPORT will provide live match commentary from Soccer Aid for UNICEF 2026 as part of its continued partnership with the charity fixture.

The station will broadcast from The London Stadium on Sunday 31 May, covering the England XI against the World XI in what is the twentieth anniversary year of the event.

In the build-up, two editions of Drive with Andy Goldstein and Darren Bent will air live from the Soccer Aid training camp on Thursday 28 and Friday 29 May between 4pm and 7pm. Both programmes will also be available to watch on smart TVs and the talkSPORT YouTube channel.

Soccer Aid for UNICEF has raised more than £121 million since its launch in 2006. This year’s match includes access to a pre-game fan zone, with a special anniversary half-time show still to be announced.

Liam Fisher, Head of talkSPORT, said: “This is the fourth year we’ve been involved with Soccer Aid for UNICEF and we couldn’t be more excited to throw our support behind the competition in 2026.”

He added: “In true talkSPORT fashion, we’ll be bringing our audience all the top names and the very best commentary of the match itself.”
