The full 30-minute THE MEN IN BLAZERS SHOW returns this Sunday, Sept. 18 on Peacock.
“Beyond thrilled to return for a ninth season of Men in Blazers at a time when the game we love — football — is truly flourishing in the United States, the nation we adore. To watch so many young American players take the field in the Premier League week in, week out, is the stuff of dreams. So, to cover the game at this time, is truly the joy of a lifetime,” said Bennett.
Last season’s show featured big-name guests including John Oliver, Premier League players Heung-min Son, Christian Eriksen, and Luke Shaw, Leeds United head coach Jesse Marsch, Chelsea Women’s Super League Club manager Emma Hayes, actors Matthew McConaughey, Will Ferrell and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Mark Cuban, Joe Seaward and Dave Bayley of the Band “Glass Animals,” and more.
