BOYLE Sports has agreed a World Cup content partnership with football creator Mark Goldbridge, covering the tournament from 11 June to 19 July.

The operator said the deal includes 32 branded watchalongs across Goldbridge’s football channels, including The United Stand and That’s Football. The schedule covers every England World Cup fixture, Scotland’s group-stage matches, and selected other games, starting with the tournament opener between Mexico and South Africa.

Alongside the live watchalongs, Goldbridge will produce preview content for England’s group games and a “Game Changers” social series highlighting five players ahead of each round. BOYLE Sports said product integrations will run throughout the campaign.

BOYLE Sports said the partnership follows a prior campaign during the Premier League season and was supported by media agency Miroma Founders Network. The operator also pointed to the recent appointment of Olivia Buzaglo as its football ambassador as part of its summer football content plans.

Commenting on the partnership, Gill Blake-Swift, Director of Brand at BOYLE Sports, said: “Mark Goldbridge represents everything we stand for as a brand – passion for sport, confidence in your opinions and a deep connection with fans. His ability to engage audiences in an authentic, entertaining way makes him the perfect partner for this summer’s World Cup as we continue to build our digital presence and bring fans closer to the moments that matter.”

Mark Goldbridge added: “The World Cup is the biggest stage in football and I’m delighted to be partnering with BOYLE Sports across the tournament. The watchalongs are all about bringing fans into the emotion of the game in real time, and this partnership enable us to do that across some of the biggest fixtures of the summer. From England games to the standout matches across the tournament, we’ll be giving fans reaction, opinion, debate and plenty of moments to get involved in.”
