Iconic TV show Soccer AM is back - well, sort of! Original hosts Tim Lovejoy and Helen Chamberlain finally reunite for new football podcast featuring familiar faces from axed Sky Sports series

Helen Chamberlain and Tim Lovejoy have returned to launch Soccer A-Z, a new weekly podcast with each episode based on a letter of the alphabet. The hosts and some famous faces will "break down the latest happenings in the football world and a weekly quiz as well," a press release said.

Chamberlain was a co-host on Soccer AM for around 22 years starting in 1995, while Lovejoy started a year later but departed in 2007. The Sky Sports show was iconic in Britain until it was taken off air in May 2023.

“I’m REALLY looking forward to reminding Tim of all the absolute nonsense he thought up, and made us do during the Soccer AM days, as I’m sure he’s forgotten most of it – luckily, the rest of us haven’t," Chamberlain said. "We all have endless stories about putting that show together, and it’s going to be so good to catch up with some of the old crew and hear their best memories from both behind the scenes and in front of camera."

Lovejoy added: "Helen, the crew and I spent over a decade sharing laughs and unforgettable moments on Soccer AM, and I can’t wait to bring that same energy and passion for football to our new podcast, Soccer A-Z. This will be a journey through the history and heart of the game, featuring plenty of familiar faces along the way. Starting September 4th, the gang is back, and we’re excited to bring the spirit of Soccer AM to a whole new platform."

The first episode of Soccer A-Z will be released on all podcast platforms on Wednesday 4.
