Since combustion is a chemical reaction involving reaction with oxygen forming new products, burning of matchstick is a chemical change.

Detailed explanation-2: -A familiar example of a combustion reaction is a lighted match. When a match is struck, friction heats the head to a temperature at which the chemicals react and generate more heat than can escape into the air, and they burn with a flame.
