Gary Neville's The Overlap secures Disney+ streaming deal

Gary Neville's The Overlap media empire has struck a deal to stream its shows, including "Stick To Football" and a new Wayne Rooney-hosted programme, on Disney+.

  • Disney+ will stream 40 episodes of "Stick To Football" this season.
  • A new show, "Stick To United with Wayne Rooney," co-presented by Mark Goldbridge, will also be available on Disney+.
  • Both shows will continue to be available on YouTube.

Gary Neville's The Overlap media empire has reached an agreement to stream its popular football discussion show, "Stick To Football," and a new programme co-hosted by Wayne Rooney and Mark Goldbridge, on Disney+.

The deal will see Disney+ carry 40 episodes of "Stick To Football" this season. The show features Neville alongside fellow former professional footballers Jamie Carragher, Jill Scott, Ian Wright, and Roy Keane. Additionally, a new show titled "Stick To United with Wayne Rooney," co-presented by prominent Manchester United YouTuber Mark Goldbridge, will be housed on the streaming platform.

Gary Neville stated that the partnership is a "unique partnership that feels right for everyone involved," and expressed pride in partnering with Disney+. He added that their community will continue to enjoy content on YouTube, while Disney+'s global audience will also be able to discover the shows.

The Overlap was majority acquired by LBC owner Global in January and later bought Goldbridge's The United Stand and That's Football shows in April.

Why this matters: The distribution deal provides Neville's business with a route to a wider audience and a means to navigate the proposed social media ban for under-18s.
