The Football Interview has a new episode airing Friday, October 9, 2026. Series 2, Episode 8 titled "Episode 8" will be broadcast on BBC iPlayer.
Kelly Somers hosts the eighth instalment of the long-form interviews. The format strips away the studio gloss to focus on direct, unmediated dialogue. The guest list spans the current hierarchy of the game, mixing high-profile athletes with figures from the entertainment world who have crossed into the football sphere. Somers guides the conversation towards the structural and personal dynamics behind the headline narratives. The premise is simple: extended time allows for a different register of answer than the standard press conference. The episode continues the series' focus on the intersection of sporting performance and public persona, leaving the specifics of the individual conversations to the broadcast itself.
