As part of this broader effort, The Athletic and Amazon Fire TV are expanding their partnership with “The Athletic FC: Daily Cup,” a new daily video series covering the tournament.
Following the successful launch of “The Athletic Show” last fall, “The Athletic FC: Daily Cup” brings The Athletic’s soccer expertise to a fast-paced daily streaming format designed to help fans make sense of the biggest sporting event in the world.
Premiering June 11, “The Athletic FC: Daily Cup” is a 30-minute show streamed daily from The Athletic’s Chicago studio, combining expert match analysis, on-the-ground reporting, spirited debate and approachable storytelling.
“The Athletic FC: Daily Cup” brings the trusted reporting and conversation that define “The Athletic FC” podcast network to a daily streaming format. Designed as an entry point for sports fans who may not follow international soccer year-round, the show will help viewers understand the tournament’s biggest matches, moments and personalities.
Each episode will be anchored by a rotating lineup of hosts drawn from The Athletic’s global soccer newsroom, including Hannah Vanbiber, Carl Anka, James McNicholas, Jay Harris and Tamerra Griffin.
Each episode will feature daily match recaps and analysis, dedicated coverage of the U.S. national team, tournamentwide storylines and debates, and explainers designed to help casual fans better understand the sport and its biggest personalities. The show will also incorporate trivia, cultural moments and lighter features throughout the tournament while drawing on reporting and contributions from all 16 host cities across the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Beginning June 11, Fire TV customers will be able to watch “The Athletic FC: Daily Cup” every morning during the tournament, with clips available across The Athletic’s platforms.
