Just one year after being cancelled, the much-loved sports-themed panel show, A League of Their Own, is set to make a spectacular return. The programme, which aired for 20 seasons on Sky TV, will be revived as a live arena tour scheduled for autumn 2026.
Return of Familiar Faces
Many of the show's well-known personalities will be back on stage. Jamie Redknapp and Jill Scott are confirmed to return, with Jill captaining the blue team and Tony leading the red team. Guest appearances will include Tom Davis, Patrice Evra, and Maisie Adam, with more A-list celebrities to be announced in the coming weeks.
Tour Dates and Venues
The tour will visit major cities across the UK, including Liverpool, Manchester, London, Newcastle, Birmingham, and Glasgow. Fans will have the opportunity to experience the action up close, as the live performances will feature the same studio challenges that made the TV show a hit, now performed live on stage.
Jamie Redknapp's Excitement
Speaking about the announcement, Jamie Redknapp expressed his enthusiasm: "I can't wait to take A League Of Their Own on tour to some of the biggest and best venues in the UK. We've put together a top team of League legends, some very special guests, and every night promises to be different. It's gonna be loud, it's gonna be chaotic, and it's probably gonna be full of Leatherman jokes at my expense. Hosting A League Of Their Own Live is a dream job, so come and join in the fun. See you there!"
Background on the Show's Cancellation
The series originally came to an end in April 2025, with Sky announcing that the 20th season would be the last. Phil Edgar-Jones, Executive Director of Original Unscripted at Sky, commented at the time: "Series 20 is the perfect opportunity to celebrate everything A League of Their Own has achieved and to give it the send-off it truly deserves. We're incredibly proud of the show — it's been a cornerstone of Sky's entertainment line-up for fifteen years and has delivered endless laughter, heart, and unforgettable moments."

Tickets for A League of Their Own Live go on sale on Friday, May 1, via Ticketmaster. Fans are encouraged to secure their seats quickly for what promises to be a memorable and entertaining experience.
