Gary Neville's media business The Overlap has reached a distribution agreement with Disney+ to stream his flagship show Stick To Football alongside a new program co-hosted by Wayne Rooney and Mark Goldbridge.

Under the deal, Disney+ will carry 40 episodes of Stick To Football this season. The football discussion show is hosted by Neville with fellow former professionals Jamie Carragher, Jill Scott, Ian Wright, and Roy Keane. The streaming platform will also debut Stick To United with Wayne Rooney, co-presented by prominent Manchester United YouTuber Goldbridge.

Both programs will remain available on YouTube. The arrangement gives Neville's company access to a broader audience and offers a distribution channel that is not affected by the proposed UK social media ban for users under 18. The deal also reflects a wider pattern of major streaming platforms increasingly acquiring sports-adjacent talk and personality-driven content as a lower-cost complement to live rights, targeting the engagement that football fandom drives on social platforms without the expense of broadcasting matches.

The move mirrors a similar strategy by former footballer Gary Lineker, whose The Rest Is Football podcast secured a deal with Netflix for weekly episodes over the next two seasons following strong performance during this summer's World Cup. Together, the deals signal that streamers see established football media personalities with proven YouTube audiences as a route into the UK sports content market.

Neville: Partnership "Expands Our Reach Without Compromising Our Identity"

"We're immensely proud to be partnering with Disney+," Neville said. "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 Overlap's Expansion Under Global Ownership

Global, the owner of LBC, completed a majority acquisition of The Overlap in January. In April, The Overlap purchased Goldbridge's The United Stand and That's Football channels. Goldbridge — whose real name is Brent Di Cesare and who is a former police officer — has built an audience of 4.5 million subscribers, making him one of the most prominent football content creators.

Rooney's Growing Disney+ Presence

Rooney is also slated to appear in a Disney+ behind-the-scenes docuseries titled The Real Rooneys, chronicling family life with his wife Coleen and their four sons.

"Having worked with Gary, Roy, Jamie, Wrighty and Jill on both 'Stick to Football' and 'The Overlap's Fan Debate' show it was a natural next step to co-host a new show from The Overlap that is totally dedicated to everything Manchester United," Rooney said.
