The original creative minds behind Soccer AM, one of the most beloved football shows in UK television history, are back in action. This time, they’re reimagining the format for a modern audience with Soccer Amen — a new podcast-TV hybrid that blends high-end production with the offbeat humor and cultural quirks that made the original a cult classic.
Set to launch on Saturday, August 9, 2025, Soccer Amen is positioning itself as a twice-weekly deep dive into the lighter, more personal side of the sport. Instead of dissecting tactics and statistics, the show will celebrate the identity, style, and shared experiences that unite fans across the globe.
The Team Behind Soccer Amen
The series reunites a powerhouse lineup of familiar faces:
- Tim Lovejoy – The original Soccer AM host and the driving creative force behind the new project.
- Robbie Knox – Known for his quick wit and engaging personality.
- Tubes – A fan favorite with a knack for spontaneous humor.
- Sheephead – Bringing his signature energy and comedic flair.
These four bring not just experience but also an established rapport, ensuring Soccer Amen feels authentic and engaging from the very first episode.
From TV Screens to Multi-Platform Streaming
Unlike its predecessor, Soccer Amen has been designed from the ground up for the digital era. Episodes are filmed at Tower Bridge Studios in London, giving the production a polished, television-grade aesthetic.
Distribution plans include:
- YouTube for full visual episodes.
- Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other major podcast platforms for audio listeners.
- TikTok and Instagram for short-form, shareable clips and comedic sketches.
This approach ensures Soccer Amen reaches both traditional football fans and the social-media-savvy younger generation.
Why a Self-Produced Format?
Tim Lovejoy explained the decision to bypass traditional TV commissioning:
“We wanted to make a show on TV, but realized it wouldn’t get commissioned. So we decided to make it ourselves. This is new TV.”
The creators have taken full ownership of the show’s direction, allowing them to retain the irreverent, unscripted style that made Soccer AM a cult favorite while embracing the flexibility of podcasting and online video.
While many football shows focus on the technical side of the game — formations, player stats, and match previews — Soccer Amen takes a completely different approach.
