He's done a Monday Night Football in April 2022 at the very least.

On a slightly related note, the BBC and ITV have both tried recruiting Jurgen Klopp for the Euros, but he has little interest.

I would be surprised if he was on Channel 4 just because it is the final 4 England games. If they had got the contract for more games then It might have become more possible. I don't know if he did BT

If they had Klopp he would surely be the highest payed pundit!!!

Netflix's second foray into live sport took place on Sunday with the Netflix Slam in Las Vegas between Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz. Unlike its venture into golf, this event used top tennis stars and had no gimmicks, with commentary from standard tennis voices and faces as well. As a result, the feedback I've seen (personally didn't watch it) was broadly positive. Viewing data, though naturally limited, suggests good viewrship as well. It will be interesting where next the Netflix eye turns to next when it comes to live sport.

To answer my own question, Netflix's next live sport is...'boxing'.
A surprise that a boxing event can take place outside of Saudi Arabia, and Netflix can broadcast a live event outside of Vegas.

I'm just surprised people take Jake Paul with even a whiff of seriousness.

There's no need for the BBC especially, to court Jurgen Klopp to be part of their Euros coverage, especially when Jurgen Klinsmann is a tournaments regular for them and at least he's played in and won a Euros.

Though in the last tournament Klinsmann appeared for the BBC, he managed to cause an international incident with his comments...
And his time as the coach of South Korea has sunk his reputation even further (whether that should or does make any difference to how people view his punditry is an interesting though seperate debate). At least he won't miss the tournament working for Korea now.

I don't envisage Klopp as someone who would like the work of a pundit really - I can't imagine him being in a studio and having to deliver concise sound bites etc. And especially not now with this being his first full summer off since 2015!

And that's before you even consider that he will face off with a 57 year old convicted rapist. The joys of modern day top end pro boxing!
I'm sure there will be an audience for it though.

Fantastic to see nominated for the RTS Sports Programme award, alongside two established national broadcasters, is BBC NI's All Ireland Football final coverage. Great to see a regional production on a sport that gets little interest or coverage in GB break through to the mainstream to be nominated. Fantastic recognition for all involved.

Much deserved - was a joy to watch that last year. They made it accessible without being patronising.

I realise many would probably not class it as a 'sport' in the truest sense of the word, but Netflix recently announced WWE Raw will be exclusive to the platform every week from 2025 in the USA, with all WWE programming available worldwide from whenever individual TV deals come to an end - in the UK that would be 2025 also. The deal is said to be worth $5bn.
I may be wrong but I believe this is Netflix's first deal for regular live [sports] programming.
