The Football Ramble is a podcast, about association football, produced in London by podcast production company Stak.[1] Originally provided fortnightly, this was increased to a weekly show at the beginning of the 09/10 football season, mainly due to repeated listener requests. In October 2015, the podcast became biweekly with a preview show of the weekend's football going out on a Friday followed by a show on Monday reflecting on the weekend's action and previewing any midweek games that may be occurring. Early episodes were recorded in the kitchen of presenter Luke Moore's rented house in Harlesden with a couple of old microphones and a MiniDisc player.

It is currently presented by Marcus Speller, Luke Moore, Pete Donaldson, Jim Campbell, Andy Brassell and Vithushan Ehantharajah. On the podcast emphasis is placed on the Premier League, world football, and to a lesser extent the Italian, German, Spanish and Scottish leagues, providing an irreverent viewpoint on the sporting issues of the day.

In the 2017–18 season, The Football Ramble began a new podcast called On The Continent, which focused on continental football away from the UK and features journalists Andy Brassell and James Horncastle. For the 2019–20 season The Football Ramble went daily, and in the summer of 2020 the Ramble team was expanded to include Kate Mason, Jules Breach and Vithushan Ehantharajah on the regular shows, with Dotun Adebayo being the new host of the revived On The Continent show.[2] In 2023–24, Jules Breach and Kate Mason left the show.
