Football Uncensored launches after World Cup success

Football Uncensored, will launch this autumn, building on the strong audience response to World Cup Uncensored, which reached more than 40 million views across digital platforms.

The upcoming series will focus on the major stories from the Premier League and beyond, offering insider analysis, open debate and exclusive insights.

This marks Uncensored’s continued expansion into dedicated sports programming following its initial foray with World Cup Uncensored.

World Cup Uncensored, hosted by Piers Morgan, Simon Jordan and former England captain John Terry, ran throughout the tournament and was picked up by broadcaster 5 shortly after its digital launch.

The series achieved over 17 million views on YouTube alone, with the penultimate episode drawing an audience of 750,000.

Piers Morgan commented on the show’s reception: “The response to World Cup Uncensored has been phenomenal, with nearly a million views of our last episode, dwarfing any other online show audience during the tournament.

“Fans want raw unadulterated pundits who aren’t afraid to speak their mind and wade into thorny topics.”

He added: “This is another massive leap forward for the Uncensored brand and we can’t wait to announce the full lineup of our new Football Uncensored team when the Premier League season gets underway.”

Uncensored has experienced significant growth this year, securing a $27 million investment to support its global media network expansion.

The network also launched The Royals Uncensored, hosted by journalists Katie Nicholl and Jo Elvin with former royal butler Grant Harrold, and History Uncensored, hosted by Bianca Nobilo, a former CNN anchor.

Additionally, Uncensored announced a partnership with TIME Studios to co-produce and distribute a new long-form interview series, set to launch later in the year.

The Uncensored network, led by CEO Rashida Jones, Executive Editor Alexander Campbell, and founder Piers Morgan, reports an active audience of 30 million people across platforms, with more than 15 million video views and 1 million engagements each week.
