Gary Lineker joins forces with DAZN for FIFA Club World Cup

Gary Lineker has linked up with DAZN with his podcast, The Rest is Football, after striking a deal for coverage of the FIFA Club World Cup  with all 63 games to be broadcast live on the streaming service.

The former Match of the Day presenter left the BBC last month after 26 years in the hot-seat.

Now, Lineker and his colleagues at Goalhanger have struck a new partnership with the streaming platform DAZN, which has exclusive broadcasting rights to the biggest and most lucrative Club World Cup yet in the United States this summer.

A joint statement issued on Tuesday said that The Rest is Football will feature “licensed match footage within the show”, with Lineker and his co-presenters, Alan Shearer and Micah Richards, also providing tournament previews and other bespoke content.

Tony Pastor, the co-founder of Goalhanger, said: “Partnering with DAZN to bring official match clips into the mix is the natural next step — adding energy, context, and taking the conversation to the next level.

“With over six million episode views and listens each month, and huge engagement across social, it’s already the UK’s most popular sports podcast.”
