Football Weekly is a podcast about football produced by The Guardian newspaper in the United Kingdom. It was first broadcast in 2006. It reviews the latest football results and news, and previews forthcoming matches. While focused on the Premier League and English football more broadly, the show pays significant attention to football across Europe, paying particular attention to La Liga, Serie A and the Bundesliga.[1]
Originally provided weekly—as its name suggests—Football Weekly, as of 2021, broadcasts three times a week during the European football season.[2] The original episode release day was Monday, after the weekend's fixtures, and since 2007 a second weekly podcast, Football Weekly Extra, has aired on Thursdays to review midweek action and preview the next weekend's matches.[3] A third weekly episode published on Tuesdays or Wednesdays has been produced since June 2020,[2] typically either focusing on news from non-British European leagues, or providing space for extended discussions of particular topics.
