Gary Neville has announced his popular Stick To Football podcast will be recording a special Euro 2024 episode that will air on ITV.
Neville has been working for ITV as a pundit during the tournament, along with his Stick To Football co-hosts Roy Keane and Ian Wright. Jill Scott and Jamie Carragher are also co-hosts of the video series, but only Scott will be joining Neville, Keane and Wright in Germany as Carragher is currently at Glastonbury Festival.
In a post on social media, Neville announced Stick To Football would be airing on TV for the first time on Friday night before the last-16 matches begin the next day. Neville said: "Stick To Football is coming to ITV!
"Join me, Roy, Jill & Wrighty for a special Euro's edition tomorrow night at 10:45pm on ITV1. We'll also be bringing it to YouTube so have a watch if you like".
Neville launched Stick To Football last year on his The Overlap YouTube channel, which boasts more than 1million subscribers. The Success of The Overlap saw him go on tour with Carragher and Keane last year, with the shows later airing on Sky.

Reflecting on the channel's success, Neville told the Drum : "I'm not a host or a presenter, I'm not a producer or a director, but I wanted to own something. I wanted to own some sort of content that was mine.
"I kept hearing people [say] everything's got to be short-form, everything's got to be 90 seconds, 30 seconds, to fit on Instagram, or reels or TikTok. And I kept thinking, Yeah, but if you have the right people having a conversation about a sport that people love, surely there's still a place for that, still a place for detailed conversation, for stories to be told in a more long-form way.
"I think we've created the safest, most secure, most compassionate environment in football for people to speak. Because the first thing that I say to people when I ask them to come on is, if there's anything that you're not comfortable with when you watch it back, it will not go out.
"I don't have any embarrassment [about letting guests see the edit] because I've never seen myself as a journalist; I don't even see myself as a broadcaster, really. I see myself as an ex-football player who just basically speaks about the game of football."
