Netflix is continuing to announce dates for the debut of several popular sports podcasts streaming exclusively in video form on the platform. The latest additions represent a mix of sports analysis, culture-driven commentary, and crossover programming, underscoring the company’s growing interest in podcast-driven engagement.
Four additional sports-focused podcasts will launch on Netflix on January 26, marking a significant influx of recognizable talent and established brands. A fifth show will follow on February 1, adding NFL-focused content ahead of the league’s offseason calendar.
Among the January 26 debuts is Joe & Jada, hosted by Grammy-nominated hip-hop stars Fat Joe and Jadakiss. The twice-weekly program blends discussions around music, sports, and culture, while also featuring interviews with influential figures across those worlds. The show has built a loyal audience through candid conversations and topical relevance, positioning it as a strong fit for Netflix’s push toward broader lifestyle and sports-adjacent content. Currently, Joe & Jada is produced by The Volume and Roc Nation with video available on YouTube.
Also launching that day is New Rory & Mal, hosted by Rory Farrell and Jamil “Mal” Clay. The podcast has become known for its sharp commentary and unfiltered takes on culture and sports, often driven by the hosts’ chemistry and willingness to challenge prevailing narratives. Its arrival gives Netflix another voice aimed at younger, digitally native audiences who gravitate toward personality-driven formats. The podcast was signed by The Volume in February of 2025 and also currently has video populating on YouTube.
Basketball fans will find familiar ground with The Mismatch, which pairs Chris Vernon and David Jacoby for in-depth NBA discussion. The show focuses on league trends, transactions, and on-court analysis, while leaning into debates that reflect both hosts’ long-standing media backgrounds. Its inclusion strengthens Netflix’s NBA-related offerings at a time when year-round basketball conversation continues to drive strong engagement.
Rounding out the January 26 lineup is The Rewatchables, hosted by Bill Simmons alongside rotating contributors from The Ringer. While not strictly sports-focused, the podcast’s popularity and ties to sports media culture have made it a cornerstone of Simmons’ audio portfolio. The show examines films that viewers return to repeatedly, blending nostalgia with analysis in a format that has proven highly adaptable.
On February 1, Netflix will debut The McShay Show, hosted by longtime NFL draft analyst Todd McShay. The podcast dives into prospect evaluation, front-office insights, and ongoing mock draft updates, offering timely content as teams prepare for the scouting combine and draft season.
The Mismatch, Rewatchables, and The McShay Show fall under The Ringer/Spotify. These podcasts were part of the agreement between Spotify and Netflix.
