Michelle Beadle and Matthew Berry Team for Roku's 'Pregame'

Michelle Beadle will co-host Pregame with Matthew Berry, a weekday Roku Sports Channel show debuting Monday. The two-hour program will stream live and free from 12-2 p.m. ET, produced by Berry's Fantasy Life, with Mo Hasan joining. Beadle and Berry will keep their other roles while the show blends fantasy, NFL, betting, pop culture, and interviews.
Beadle’s background includes seven years at ESPN over two separate stints, where she co-hosted Get Up, NBA Countdown, and SportsNation. She also spent two years at NBC Sports and currently hosts Run it Back on FanDuel TV, after previously working at SiriusXM Mad Dog Sports Radio.
Pregame with Matthew Berry will occupy the weekday slot that The Rich Eisen Show left a year ago when Eisen moved to ESPN and Disney+. Berry’s Fantasy Life produces the program, and Mo Hasan, a former college quarterback and creator, joins the cast.
Roku’s free, live weekday show could give cord-cutters and fantasy-football fans another accessible option, while Beadle and Berry may draw existing audiences from their other roles. It may also intensify competition in daytime sports talk and further blend sports, betting, and entertainment content, affecting viewers, advertisers, and rival platforms.
