I have a vague memory that it's around 500-a-side.
most players a side
Does anyone know what the record number of players per side is in a team match on Chess.com,please?

Wasn't here but it was vote chess with 50,000 players against Kasparov.
Actually it was to Kasparov's great advantage to have so many average players against him. At a crucial point in that game the average players played a move they were warned against by some strong masters.
Much harder to play a team of say ten players when the lowest rated player on the team is about 2200 and the highest rated player became a correspondence grandmaster.
I am sure Kasparov was relieved when he saw that bad move voted for.
I don't know if this was the biggest but 607 matches is pretty respectable.

Myself and my good mate,Ashish,are trying to break the 607-a-side team match record.Our 2 clubs are Wallyjack's Elite Alliance Of Chess Zealots and F.R.I.E.N.D.S Chess Club with the count standing at WEACZ 473 v F.R.I.E.N.D.S 518 as of 18/8/2018,obviously,we have a fair way to go so if anyone would like to join in and help us to break the Chess.com record,then,please,join 1 of the 2 mighty clubs.
Thank you
We have now started the match with 481 players-a-side which makes it the 3rd highest team match,I think,for players per side in Chess.com history and we are hoping to break that in next year's match!
