Capital Breakfast's Jordan North is switching the radio studio for the football pitch, as it's just been confirmed he's joining the star-studded Soccer Aid 2026 line-up.

Making his debut at the charity match, Jordan is both "excited" and "slightly terrified". However, the longtime Burnley FC supporter can't wait to share the pitch with football legends, raise money for a great cause, and help smash their incredible £121 million donations record!

We can't lie, the line-up is mega. With celebrities like Angry Ginge, Adolescence & Wuthering Height's star Owen Cooper, Tom Hiddleston and GK Barry all coming together on the pitch. And you haven't heard it from us, but we think Jordan could form a powerhouse partnership with fellow northerner Ginge.

Before you tune in on Sunday 31st May to see how it all plays out on the pitch, scroll down to see who’s been announced so far for both the England and World XI teams.
