The Football Weekly podcast is a UK-based soccer podcast from the team at The Guardian. The host is broadcaster Max Rushden, known for presenting Soccer AM on Sky Sports.

Listeners can expect a detailed analysis of games in the UK and the rest of Europe. There's always time to discuss any news updates and answer questions from listeners. Plus, fans can expect some fun random conversations too!
This entertaining football podcast releases new episodes three times a week. The team shares the weekend's Premier League action, debating who came out on top or didn't perform as expected. They review what happened when there was a fight for the top between Manchester City and Arsenal. Could Chelsea still have a chance for the prize? And where is Manchester United in the ranks? All aspects are under review on Football Weekly, from new players to long-term managers.
Fellow sports broadcasters are also welcome on the Football Weekly podcast. They share their soccer knowledge and expertise with listeners. These guests include Faye Carruthers and analyst Jonathan Fadugba. Kevin Miles also joins from the Football Supporters' Association. He discusses a new government white paper designed to protect fans and their clubs.

It's insight like this that keeps football fans informed of all the latest news in football.
Football Weekly also creates episodes to recognize incredible people within the sport. Legendary footballer Pelé is one example, as the team discusses his lasting impact. There's also an episode shared from The Guardian's sister podcast Science Weekly. This bonus episode examines the environmental effects of the World Cup. The big question is: What is the carbon footprint of football? There's plenty of exciting discussion and debate on this insightful podcast.
