Lineker's Podcast to Netflix TV Show: A New Era
Update: 2025-12-07
Description
Gary Lineker, renowned football presenter, is expanding his media empire with a major deal between his podcast company, Goalhanger, and Netflix. The popular football podcast, The Rest Is Football, will transform into a daily television show during the World Cup in North America, marking a significant step into the global entertainment market. This move comes after Lineker stepped down from hosting BBCs Match of the Day and puts him in direct competition with his former employer. The deal is a landmark moment for sports and video podcasting, with the show expected to attract a wider audience, especially in the US. Analysts suggest this global reach could significantly boost Linekers career, potentially dwarfing his previous BBC salary. This strategic move highlights a growing trend of podcasts transitioning into visual media and reaching new platforms.
