Soccer AM is a British football-based comedy talk show, produced by Sky Sports. It aired from 20 August 1994 to 27 May 2023 on Sky Showcase, Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Football. From 2010, the programme was put on a short broadcast delay in order to edit bad language and/or inappropriate content from guests.

Its best-known presenters were Helen Chamberlain, who presented the show for 22 years, and Tim Lovejoy, who hosted from 1996 to 2007. Its final set of presenters were John Fendley and ex-footballer Jimmy Bullard.

On 22 March 2023, Sky announced that the show would be axed after the end of the current footballing season.[1] The final episode aired on Saturday 27 May 2023, the day before the end of the 2022–23 Premier League season.[2]
