Sad news for FPL fans! The beloved Fantasy 606 podcast, also known as the FPL pod from BBC Sport, is being taken off the air. Host Alistair Bruce-Ball broke the ‘very sad’ news just as the Fantasy Premier League kicks off for the 2026/27 season. Alongside Chris Sutton and Statman Dave, Alistair brought us all the FPL banter and analysis we loved each gameweek. Although there won’t be new episodes, you can still enjoy 108 classic episodes on BBC Sounds.
Alistair thanked fans, saying, “It’s our amazing listeners’ contributions who really made it.” He also promised to keep the spirit alive by continuing the BBC Sport league, so stay tuned for those details. Chris Sutton echoed the sentiment, appreciating everyone involved and saying, “Sad news about Fantasy 606.”
Fans are already expressing their disappointment. One listener commented, “Sad to hear it, I enjoy the nonsense every week.” Another added, “This is terrible news, this was my must-listen podcast.” Many shared how much it meant to them, “I’ve had health issues over the last 18 months, and listening to you guys has really helped lift my mood.”
It’s a blow to the FPL community, but Alistair, Chris, and Dave leave us with memories of great laugh-filled sessions. Here’s to hoping they find a new platform soon! Keep your eyes peeled for updates on the BBC Sport league. Good luck to all in the upcoming FPL season! 🏆#Fantasy606 #FPL
