On August 13, 2026, Disney+ announced a podcast partnership with former Manchester United star Gary Neville and his media company, The Overlap. The deal covers 40 new episodes of Stick to Football, 50 episodes of a new Wayne Rooney series, and headline sponsorship for both shows during the 2026/27 season. The move puts Disney+ directly in competition with Netflix, which recently backed World Cup editions of Gary Lineker’s The Rest is Football. Streaming platforms are clearly treating video podcasts hosted by former players as premium sports programming, not just bonus content. What’s Coming to Disney+? Stick to Football will continue with Neville, Jamie Carragher , Jill Scott , Ian Wright , and Roy Keane breaking down football news and welcoming guests. Episodes will appear on Disney+, regular podcast platforms, and The Overlap’s YouTube channel, with 20 installments available exclusively on Disney+ for a limited window. The new Stick to United will feature Wayne Rooney alongside Manchester United superfan Mark Goldbridge , whose media channels were acquired by The Overlap in April. The weekly show will dissect United’s results and biggest storylines, with six Disney+ exclusive extended episodes adding special guests to the lineup. Stick to United begins streaming weekly on Tuesday, August 18, while Stick to Football returns weekly in the UK and Ireland on Thursday, August 20. Goldbridge described the project as a milestone for fan-led media, while Neville said the partnership would expand The Overlap’s reach without changing the community-driven identity that built its audience.
