The Rest is Football Hits Netflix for the 2026 World Cup

The popular podcast The Rest is Football has officially made the jump to Netflix. Produced by Goalhanger, this daily studio show serves as a companion piece for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The hosts, Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer, and Micah Richards, broadcast live from a cozy studio in the middle of Times Square, bringing a relaxed and energetic vibe that stands out against more traditional sports broadcasts.

What makes this show special is how it keeps the authentic feel of the original podcast. The hosts sit around a dining table with drinks, engaging in the same honest, funny, and sometimes sweary banter that fans love. The daily livestream format is a great addition for Netflix, making it easy for both casual viewers and serious football fans to catch up on the latest tournament news and match analysis.

The show features a rotating cast of high profile guests, including football icons like Frank Lampard and Harry Maguire, alongside celebrities from music and comedy. Because of the informal setting, these guests often open up in ways you do not see on standard sports programs. Whether they are discussing tactical insights or sharing personal stories, the conversation always feels natural and entertaining.

With roving reporters like Alex Aljoe and Rob Jones providing on the ground updates, the show manages to capture the true excitement of the tournament. It is a bold move for Netflix to bring this level of personality to daily sports coverage, but the chemistry between the hosts makes it a win for football fans everywhere.
