Disney is acquiring rights to Gary Neville’s football podcast, “The Overlap,” and bringing related content to a streaming platform. The deal is positioned as competition in the wider market for sports talk shows and streamer partnerships.
The reporting also notes that Disney will use the platform to produce additional football programming connected to the podcast. One of the announced outputs is a new Manchester United-focused show hosted by former player Wayne Rooney and presenter Mark Goldbridge, described as co-hosting the new series. Across the coverage, both outlets frame the move as part of Disney’s broader push to secure sports-media exclusives.
While both sources emphasize the same ownership and launch direction, the details provided are limited in the excerpts. They do not specify the deal’s financial terms, the exact release date, or how the podcast format will translate to the streaming service.
