David Beckham Strikes Deal With Paramount+ Bringing Alternative Telecast ‘Beckham & Friends’ To CBS Sports’ UEFA Champions League Coverage

David Beckham and Paramount+ have formed a marketing partnership bringing alternative telecast Beckham & Friends to CBS Sports’ UEFA Champions League coverage.

The deal will give additional exposure to the “ManningCast”-esque show and increase options for UEFA Champions League viewing on Paramount+. The show will stream during both UEFA Champions League Semifinal Leg 2 matches and the UEFA Champions League Final. Beckham made the announcement Tuesday during a guest appearance on CBS Sports’ UEFA Champions League Today studio show.

This deal includes exclusive altcasts on Paramount+ in 2025 and 2026, where Beckham will be joined by guests from the worlds of sports, media and entertainment. Paramount+ Presents Beckham & Friends will be produced by CBS Sports in collaboration with UEFA Champions League, Authentic, and Relevent Sports. Relevent Sports was crucial to the development of the Beckham & Friends concept.
