Gary Neville's The Overlap network signs Disney deal

On Thursday, Disney+ announced a sponsorship and distribution deal with Gary Neville's media network, The Overlap, bringing established football content to the streaming platform to compete with industry rivals.
The partnership includes 40 episodes of Stick to Football hosted by Neville, Jamie Carragher, Jill Scott, Ian Wright, and Roy Keane, alongside 50 episodes of the new series Stick to United with Wayne Rooney and Mark Goldbridge.
Disney+ aims to expand its sports entertainment footprint by capturing The Overlap's established, fan-led audience and directly challenging Gary Lineker's Netflix-backed The Rest is Football.
Neville, co-founder of The Overlap, said the deal is a "unique partnership that feels right for everyone involved," adding it allows the network to expand reach "without compromising our identity."
Stick to United launches next Tuesday, August 18, while Stick to Football begins streaming on Thursday, August 20, with both shows remaining available on YouTube alongside Disney+ broadcasts.
