talkSPORT has added to its award-winning line up for the new season with more matches, top signings and new shows.

With over 450 games across the network this season, talkSPORT will cover more live games than anywhere else on radio, dominating in an unprecedented season like never before ahead of a winter World Cup and following England and Wales to Qatar.

Legendary former player and manager Graeme Souness is joining the line-up from this Monday, there is a brand new Saturday phone-in and live games on Fridays, Saturdays and Mondays, including the first two Premier League games of the new season – Crystal Palace v Arsenal this Friday and Fulham v Liverpool on Saturday lunchtime. talkSPORT will also host Manchester United v Liverpool on Monday, August 22. And all for free!

The network has also launched a new marketing campaign “It’s time to turn to talkSPORT,” aimed at supporters who may not yet realise how many live games talkSPORT can offer across the Premier League, the WSL, the EFL, the FA Cup and the EFL Cup, as well as international and European football, including the freshly-crowned England Lionesses.

As well as the extravaganza of live football, here are some of the shows to look out for on talkSPORT:

The usual favourites, including Hawksbee and Jacobs, Jonny Owen and Friends, The Sports Bar, Trans Europe Express, The Warm Up, Fight Night and so many other live sports will be a regular part of the schedule across talkSPORT and talkSPORT2.

Head of talkSPORT, Lee Clayton said:
“Stand by for a sensational season, full of exciting matches and outstanding shows, bringing together unmissable debates and world-class commentary.

“As the world’s biggest sports radio station, it’s time to turn to talkSPORT as we will be covering over 450 matches this season – more than anyone else on radio with the award-winning GameDay front and centre of our live coverage, every Saturday.

“From the Premier League to the WSL, the EFL to the World Cup, talkSPORT has you covered. And as we are Powered by Fans we are giving listeners even more opportunities to call in and have final say every day.

“I can’t wait to hear Graeme Souness with Jim and Simon every Monday, with the final word on the weekend action and throwing ahead to our live Monday night matches. It will be essential, appointment-to-listen radio.

“Our new phone-in, with Jamie and Gabby will be fast and furious and the first place for supporters to share their views on a Saturday, while there are so many other exciting shows to listen to and join in.

“It’s time to turn to talkSPORT.”

Graeme Souness said: “So looking forward to working with Jim and Simon on their show, which has never shied away from the contentious issues. They take on big debates and we will be doing plenty of that together on talkSPORT!”
