Lineker's Podcast Returns to Netflix for Premier League Season
20 Jul
Summary
- Gary Lineker's podcast will be on Netflix for the Premier League season.
- The show was popular during the 2026 World Cup, hitting UK's top 10 daily.
- Lineker left BBC's Match of the Day in May 2025 after a controversy.
Gary Lineker's "The Rest Is Football" podcast is confirmed to return to Netflix, covering the 2026 to 2027 Premier League season. The show, co-hosted by former footballers Micah Richards and Alan Shearer, previously aired on the streaming platform during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, hosted by Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
During its 40-episode run for the World Cup, the podcast proved highly successful, appearing daily in Netflix's top 10 TV chart and reaching number one in the UK. Lineker shared his excitement about the weekly return, anticipating a season filled with "plenty of opinions, plenty of laughs and, with Alan and Micah involved, probably a few arguments."
The series will continue to be produced by Goalhanger Podcasts, a company co-founded by Lineker. This development comes after Lineker's departure from the BBC's "Match of the Day" in May 2025, following a controversy related to an Instagram post. Lineker had been the highest-paid presenter at the BBC, hosting "Match of the Day" since 1999.
