YouTube star KSI will live stream Dagenham & Redbridge's National League South fixture against Hampton & Richmond on his channel this Saturday. The 32-year-old content creator, who has 17.6 million subscribers and bought a minority stake in the club in March, will broadcast the game for free at 15:00 GMT.

The National League called this a landmark moment, describing it as opening 'the doors of non-league football to a truly global audience.' National League CEO Phil Alexander said partnering with DAZN and leveraging KSI's massive following provides a unique opportunity to showcase what makes this level of football special.

Dagenham, relegated to the sixth tier last season, sit 12th in National League South, six points behind the play-off places. Hampton & Richmond are 18th. London-born KSI, whose real name is Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji, promoted the stream on Instagram, promising fans 'This is gonna be a movie.'
