Disney+ has signed a deal to broadcast The Overlap network's "Stick to Football" and a new show called "Stick to United with Wayne Rooney" in a one-year agreement.
Both "Stick to Football" and the new "Stick to United with Wayne Rooney" will also be available on YouTube
Content creator Mark Goldbridge will co-host the new United show alongside Manchester United's record goalscorer Rooney.
Goldbridge's "United We Stand" is the biggest Manchester United fan channel on YouTube while his "That's Football" platform looks at the sport more broadly. Both were bought by The Overlap in April.
Fellow streamer Netflix also branched out into hosting football podcasts earlier this year, as it streamed special World Cup editions of "The Rest is Football," which features Gary Lineker, Micah Richards and Alan Shearer.
The move reflects a changing media landscape, with sports podcasts hosted by former players now being platformed by major global streaming services.
In a statrement, Sean Doyle, VP, Unscripted, Disney+ EMEA, said: "As we move into a new era of sports entertainment on Disney+, we're excited to be bringing one of the UK's most popular and distinctive sports shows to the platform.
"What Gary and the team at The Overlap have created with Stick to Football -- and now Stick to United with Wayne Rooney -- is truly unique.
"Adding both shows broadens our local original content offering as we continue to expand into new sports formats, complementing our existing catalogue of drama, comedy, documentary, reality and ESPN on Disney+. I can't wait for fans to see the special episodes we have in the pipeline. Watch this space."
Neville, co-founder and co-chair of The Overlap, said: "We're immensely proud to be partnering with Disney+. It's one of the world's most iconic entertainment brands, and for us this is a unique partnership that feels right for everyone involved.
"What's exciting is that we're not changing who we are. Our community will continue to enjoy our content in exactly the way they always have through YouTube, while at the same time Disney+'s incredible global streaming audience will now be able to discover and enjoy it too.
"It's a partnership that expands our reach without compromising our identity."
The deal will allow Disney+ subscribers to watch 40 episodes of "Stick to Football," hosted by Neville, Jamie Carragher, Jill Scott, Ian Wright and Roy Keane during the 2026-27 season.

Disney+ will also broadcast 50 episodes of "Stick to United with Wayne Rooney," along with extra content that will discuss the biggest talking points surrounding the Red Devils.
Disney+ has also commissioned additional episodes of "Stick to Football" that will be exclusively available on the streaming service for a limited period before being published on YouTube.
The Overlap have said the partnership underscores its ambition to build the leading non-live football media platform in the world.
