Soccer AM’s final episode date confirmed as Sky AXE popular show after almost 30 years

SOCCER AM’S final episode will reportedly air on May 27 as the show bids farewell after 28 years on air.

It was first revealed by SunSport back in March that Sky Sports bosses had decided to axe the long-running football programme.

John “Fenners” Fendley then took to social media to claim no official decision had been made.

But The Mail have now confirmed the May 27 episode – which will air on the final weekend of the Premier League season – will be its last.

Soccer AM has enjoyed massive success since it first aired on Sky Sports in 1995.

The 90-minute comedy talk show runs through the week’s footballing events with added skits and challenges.

Celebrity guests each episode include at least one footballer and a combination of musicians, TV personalities and other sportsmen.

It was previously hosted by Helen Chamberlain and Tim Lovejoy.

Lovejoy now presents Sunday Brunch on Channel 4 while Chamberlain rescues animals on her farm.

These days it is presented by Fendley and ex-footballer Jimmy Bullard.

Famous guests have included Hollywood A-listers such as Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and bands like Oasis.

Meanwhile, a number of future footy legends would feature on the Skill Skool segment, including England stars Raheem Sterling and Jordan Henderson.

Sky have made huge changes to their sports schedule over recent years.

Sunday Supplement was axed back in 2020 along with Goals on Sunday and The Debate.
