Tubi launches The Other Football with Gronkowski and Winston

A bridge, not a lecture

The appeal here is obvious. Gronkowski and Winston know how to work a room, and the report says the concept leans into their familiarity with American football before stepping into the “outro futebol” with guests and experts.

That matters. Soccer coverage aimed at new viewers often becomes stiff or overly educational. A show like this appears to be aiming for something looser:

  • Humor over homework
  • Big names over inside jargon
  • Conversation over gatekeeping

If it works, it could bring in viewers who might never choose a traditional football panel show.

The guest list gives it credibility

The reported lineup is where the format starts to feel more serious. Weston McKennie and Matt Turner bring current United States relevance, while Tom Brady and Keegan-Michael Key add crossover pull.

There is also a useful range to the names mentioned:

  • Players who can explain dressing-room reality
  • Entertainers who can keep the tone light
  • American football figures who mirror the audience’s own learning curve

That mix may be the best route into a crowded sports-media market.

More than a novelty project

The report also says the show is produced by Tom Brady’s Shadow Lion, which gives the launch a bigger-business feel. This does not look like a one-off gimmick; it looks like a calculated play at a moment when soccer’s US profile is expected to rise again.

And that is the real angle to watch. As 2026 gets closer, more broadcasters and streamers will try to own a piece of the conversation. If “competição, cultura e conexão,” as Winston put it, comes through on screen, this could be an early marker of how America’s World Cup build-up will sound.
