YouTube star Jimmy "MrBeast" has unveiled the roster of individuals who will be participating in his basketball matchup between popular English-speaking and Spanish-speaking content creators. The YouTuber uploaded a story on Instagram to announce the reveal.
The game will be broadcast live on Friday, April 25, 2025, and will be available for live viewing on Fede Vigevani's YouTube channel at 9:00 pm Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or 5:00 pm Eastern Time.
MrBeast, known for his massive collaborations and crossovers, was given the idea for the match-up during his conversation with Uruguayan-born YouTuber Fede Vigevani, who currently resides in Mexico. In his Instagram story, Jimmy revealed Vigevani's proposition to hold a basketball match with teams of content creators divided based on linguistic lines.
The YouTube star stated:
"A couple weeks ago, I announced that I'm going to be getting some of the biggest English speaking creators together, to play against some of the biggest Spanish-speaking creators in a game of basketball. So, Fede, he's one of the largest Spanish speaking creators for those of you who don't speak Spanish, and never heard of him. He's massive. I think he has like, over forty million subscribers."
