Show overview
Football Weekly has been publishing since 2024, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 270 episodes, alongside 1 trailer or bonus episode. That works out to roughly 240 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a several-times-a-week cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 52 min and 58 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-GB-language Sports show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed yesterday, with 60 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2025, with 158 episodes published. Published by The Guardian.
