As it prepares for the new football season, BBC Sport has unveiled four new YouTube series, along with a range of other features for fans.
BBC Sport is set to feature live matches, highlights and clips from the Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League, Europa League, Bundesliga, LaLiga, Serie A and Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland internationals across TV, radio, BBC iPlayer, BBC Sounds, YouTube, social media and the BBC Sport website and app.
“Football means something different to every fan, and this season BBC Sport is putting those fans even more firmly at the heart of the game,” said Alex Kay-Jelski, BBC’s director of sport. “We’re bringing together the unrivaled expertise of former players and managers with the passion, personality and perspectives of supporters themselves to create a richer football experience wherever and however audiences follow the game. There are new shows, new voices and new ways to get closer to the action—alongside the trusted coverage millions of fans already turn to, from Match of the Day to BBC Radio 5 Live. Whether you want the big debate, the inside story, the fan perspective or simply every goal, BBC Sport will be there all season.”
The new BBC Football YouTube is rolling out four new formats: FANS², The Truth About Football, Golden Goal, and Football Hub. Plus, Group Chat and Game Changes will return for new seasons.
BBC Sport is also launching a fan collective representing all 20 Premier League clubs, whose voices will be featured on the BBC Sport app’s Shorts feed and the BBC Football YouTube channel. The BBC Sport app is also getting an upgrade, and Match of the Day returns, as does The Football Interview on BBC One, BBC iPlayer, BBC Football YouTube and the BBC Sport website and app.
