David Beckham is stepping off the pitch and onto the small screen with the launch of his first ever television chat show, Beckham & Friends Live. Set to debut exclusively on Paramount+, the series promises to bring football, friendship, and famous faces together in a unique blend of sport and celebrity.
The former England captain, affectionately known to fans as "Golden Balls", will be joined by some of his most famous friends for candid conversations and casual catch-ups, all while soaking in the excitement of the UEFA Champions League. Among the potential guests? Heavy hitters like celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, Hollywood legend Tom Cruise, and fellow Brit and actor-entrepreneur Ryan Reynolds.
But this isn’t your typical late-night format. Beckham’s new show will blend the thrill of live football coverage with laid-back, wine-sipping chats between friends. Beckham & Friends Live will air in both the UK and US, giving fans on both sides of the Atlantic a front-row seat to Beckham’s star-studded inner circle.
The first two episodes will broadcast live from London, covering the highly anticipated Champions League semi-final second legs. On May 6, the show will delve into the clash between Inter Milan and Barcelona, while May 7 will focus on the showdown between Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal. Expect tactical talk, insider anecdotes, and a dose of Beckham charm as he hosts from a stylish set that combines sporting intensity with relaxed, intimate vibes.
For Beckham, this latest venture follows a string of recent successes on screen, including the smash-hit Netflix documentary Beckham, which offered an inside look at his life, career, and family. With that project reigniting global interest in the football icon, Beckham & Friends Live feels like a natural next step, bringing his passion for the beautiful game and his ever-growing roster of celebrity pals together in a fresh, entertaining format.
It’s a savvy move by Paramount+, capitalising on Beckham’s global appeal and the growing appetite for content that sits at the intersection of sports and entertainment. And for fans, it’s a rare chance to see the famously polished Beckham in a more relaxed, conversational setting, glasses of wine in hand, talking tactics and trading stories with some of the biggest names in the world.
Whether you’re tuning in for the football or the famous faces, Beckham & Friends Live is shaping up to be a must-watch
