Renford Rejects is a teen sitcom produced and broadcast by Nickelodeon UK between 1998 and 2001. The show briefly aired in the United States on Nick GaS.[1] Reruns used to be broadcast on Nickelodeon UK at 1:50 am and 2:15 am until 2020.

The show concerned a five-a-side school football team, made up of aspiring players who had been turned down by their school's main team. Although they originally called themselves the "Renford Rovers", they ended up being named "Renford Rejects" when a rival player sabotaged their league entry form. They decided to stick with the name as it suited their "outcast" nature. The show used to be played at night from 1:50 am to 2:40 am on U.K. Nickelodeon.
