Spotify Live will continue to be the live audio home of Fantasy Footballers, one of the internet’s most popular sports podcasts. The two sides have agreed to extend their partnership over the next three seasons, beginning with coverage of the NFL Draft next week.
“As an avid listener of Fantasy Footballers since 2016, I couldn’t be more excited to have one of the most popular sports podcasts in the world exclusive to Spotify for live audio,” said Max Cutler, Head of New Content Initiatives at Spotify, Founder & Managing Director of Parcast. “Andy, Jason and Mike have created an incredible community of fans, and Spotify Live will continue to allow them to connect with their massive fanbase in a unique way for years to come as a cornerstone of Spotify’s ambitions for sports content in the live audio space.”
As part of the deal, Fantasy Footballers is deepening its relationship with Spotify. The streaming audio company will take over sales of the show’s ad inventory. The show will also join Megaphone, Spotify’s proprietary podcast platform.
“We’re thrilled about this partnership after an incredible first year on Spotify last season,” said Andy Holloway, co-host of Fantasy Footballers. “The essence of fantasy football is amplified by the live format, as the community gets to engage with us in real time on topics that matter to them. Our fans enjoyed every minute of our weekly live shows and we can’t wait to bring that same energy as we break down every magnificent moment of the next several seasons.”
