Sky Sports axes Fantasy Football League and Soccer AM from weekend lineup

Sky Sports have confirmed that Fantasy Football League, the iconic show previously fronted by David Baddiel and Frank Skinner, will not return in its current format later this year. The decision to axe the show comes less than two years after its revival, with hosts Elis White and Matt Lucas at the helm.

Producer Spencer Millman took to social media to announce the news, expressing his gratitude to the production team and viewers who supported the show. Despite the efforts to bring back the beloved series, it seems that Fantasy Football League will not be making a comeback for the upcoming season.

This move follows Sky Sports’ controversial decision to cancel Soccer AM last year, ending the long-standing run of the popular show. The decision to remove Soccer AM from the schedule was met with disappointment from fans who had grown accustomed to the program over the years.

Sky Sports cited the need to adapt to the changing preferences of their audience as the reason behind the cancellation of Soccer AM. The broadcaster is now in a period of consultation to discuss the proposed changes with their staff, indicating a shift in their programming strategy.

As fans of Fantasy Football League and Soccer AM mourn the loss of these beloved shows, the debate over the changing landscape of sports television continues. Will you miss Fantasy Football League? Share your thoughts and join the conversation on the future of sports programming.
