A League Of Their Own fans have reason to celebrate as the hit TV show embarks on a live UK arena tour this September. The programme, which ran for 20 series since March 2010, concluded last year but returns as a live production for the first time. The tour includes seven dates in major cities such as London, Newcastle, Manchester, and a headline night at Liverpool's M&S Bank Arena on Friday, September 4, 2026.
Jamie Redknapp will be joined on stage by team captains Jill Scott and Tony Bellew, alongside Tom Davis, Patrice Evra, and Maisie Adam. More guests are expected to be announced in the coming months. Audiences can expect the same loud, chaotic challenges that made the show a hit on television. Tickets are available now from major retailer Live Nation.
Over the years, the show has produced many hilarious moments. One classic came during a road trip with Freddie Flintoff, Romesh Ranganathan, and Alan Carr. Romesh managed to get Jamie Redknapp's phone and sent a text to Gary Neville, reading: 'I know you were only here five minutes but what's the best restaurant in Valencia?' The message referenced Neville's brief, unsuccessful managerial stint at Valencia. Despite the awkwardness, Neville sent his recommendations.
Another iconic moment featured Tony Bellew's rant about football club support. When Redknapp said he supported Liverpool, Bellew, an Evertonian, accused him of glory hunting, saying: 'It's typical Kopites once again, glory hunting b*******. They're not from the city. If you shut the airports on matchday, Anfield will be empty.' Bellew then turned on Micah Richards, who admitted to supporting both Manchester City and Arsenal, prompting Bellew to call him 'one of them two team w******'.
When asked why he supports Everton, Bellew replied: 'I was chosen. I didn't choose, I was chosen. Special kind to support my club mate.' The rant highlighted the passion and humour that have made A League Of Their Own a fan favourite for years.
