Hashtag United are a one-of-a-kind football and esports club, based in Essex, England. Formed in 2016 by Spencer Owen as a group of mates playing exhibition games, we now play in the 9th tier of English football, the Essex Senior League. We won our league in our first season in non-league football and were looking good for a second promotion when the 2019/20 season was voided. We merged with AFC Basildon Women in summer 2020 and formed our women's team, Hashtag United FC Women, who play in the 4th tier of women's football. We also now have 40+ youth teams, reserve and development teams...and not forgetting our esports team of Tom and Shawrey, who play at the world's highest level. Subscribe on YouTube for our latest football content (and watch our journey so far), or on Twitch for gaming, football and talk content!

"What are we looking for this time around, Devs?"
"a new player."

😂😂😂

[MarkCalloway]

The real question is, who will Seb back, he always spots the winners 👀

[harryjones]

This club is so unique you can feel like a true fan whether you are local or not. Mens womens and youth football its amazing. Congrats spencer and the numerous other I'm sure who work hard behind the scenes

[SpencerFC]

It's back! Both the men's and women's winner are somewhere in this episode. Who do you think it will be?!

[r.b.]

Joni Vukaj. Never would I have ever thought we'd have a Kosovo representative in the Hashtag Academy.

A few years ago I found hashtag United academy series 1 on YouTube, now I’m helping at series 3. Crazy!
Can’t wait to see how the series plays out 🤩

[joemama]

The return of the greatest series on YouTube!?

[ajhd]

I'm going to tell my kids that this was the original All or Nothing on Amazon Prime

[chrisquirk]

This is not a prediction, this is a spoiler. The Hashtag Academy series will produce a superstar, an England international one day. The first will be someone from the women's team, from this series.

[midnightops]

Would love to see Scotty Pollock make a return as part of one of the stages

[ChrisMacchi]

UP THE TAGS Best of luck to everyone starting their Hashtag journey with this series!

[cjd]

Love this already and it hasn't started yet

[CelliumsBurner]

That ginger womens cb looked quality tbf, so did the former leeds player

[cvetomirgeorgiev]

I'm hyped. This series always brings a ton of quality to the squad. Not just the winner, but the people that are really good, don't win, but still sign with you.

[TrainEffective]

Love the video 🙌 It was our absolute pleasure attending as guest scouts!

[lukemutch]

Me after every interview:
Oh yeah he’s gonna win

[michaelhuber]

Love the academy series- Scott was the perfect winner and josh being one of the strongest on the squad rn plus all those extras that get to play occasional like samraj being absolute class, so academy series is always great decision making

[MANapier]

So many talented players, the first trails is always the hardest of all.
Can’t wait to get to know the selected players more in the next episode/stream!

[JamesmHodges]

Waited so long for this! An incredible start to a great series! 🙌 BRING ON THE LIVE STREAM ON SATURDAY!
