FanDuel Sports Network has agreed to a new partnership with The Ringer to host two of the media network's podcasts on live television beginning on November 16.
The Ringer Sunday Pregame and The Ringer Gambling Show will begin airing on FanDuel Sports Network programming, operated by Main Street Sports Group, and said to "strengthen" the operator's expanding lineup of betting coverage.
"The Ringer delivers cutting-edge sports and pop culture vodcasts, and this partnership allows us to bring fans even closer to the content they love," Main Street Sports Group President of Production and Programming Norby Williamson said.
"Bill Simmons and his team have set a standard for sports commentary, and these shows further strengthen our unmatched live coverage and multi-platform offerings."
The Ringer was originally founded in 2016 by former ESPN personality Bill Simmons, who then sold the company to Spotify in 2020 for approximately $250m.
"We're very excited to bring The Ringer's unique point of view to FanDuel Sports Network," The Ringer Managing Director and Spotify Head of Podcast Studios Geoff Chow said.
"We're thrilled to bring these shows to this new audience."
The Ringer Sunday Pregame is hosted by Sal Iacono, Joe House, John Jastremski, Raheem Palmer and Anthony Dabbundo, who help provide in-depth analysis of the weekly NFL slate for listeners.
Running every weekday, The Ringer Gambling Show uses FanDuel odds to preview matchups across multiple sports, and will lead into a fellow FanDuel Sports Network live podcast, Golic & Golic.
FanDuel and The Ringer stated it will explore future opportunities for "expanded collaboration" and dual-platform promotion as part of the new relationship.
FanDuel officially brought on former NBA athlete DeMarcus "Boogie" Cousins to serve as co-host of FanDuel TV's daily NBA show Run It Back on October 20, which covers the league's most prominent games and provides insight for fans around the sport
