June 28, 2024

The first in a special series of Stick to Football from the YouTube phenomenon The Overlap airs on ITV1 and ITVX tonight (June 28th) at 10.45pm.

Over the course of four specially-commissioned episodes, viewers will be treated to insights and discussions about Euro 2024, as football legends Gary Neville, Ian Wright, Jill Scott and Roy Keane break down the latest developments in the competition.

Neville commented: “At its core, Stick to Football is a conversation about football by people who love the game – just like fans do up and down the country, and that’s exactly what we want to continue to do with these special episodes for the Euros. Each host brings something different to the table and we’ll be delving into our own experiences and looking to add a personal touch to each episode Stick to Football has been a huge success on The Overlap channel, which hit over 1 million subscribers earlier this year, and we’re delighted that we’re now able to bring this show to a new audience on ITV1. It’s the next part of the journey. Whether you’re a die-hard football fan or just looking to enjoy the excitement of the Euros, Stick to Football is the show you won’t want to miss. Join us if you like.”

ITV Director of Sport, Niall Sloane, added: “Stick to Football has proven a standout on social media and with Gary, Ian, Jill and Roy already familiar to viewers of ITV’s football coverage over many years, we’re looking forward to this special Euros collaboration, bringing this podcast to mainstream television for the first time, which we hope will enhance our audience’s enjoyment of the tournament as it reaches the knockout stage.”  

Throughout the rest of Euro 2024, Stick to Football will be filmed from a special location next to the ITV set in the centre of Berlin and will offer viewers an in-depth analysis of the tournament as it unfolds in Germany. E
