Netflix and Spotify team up to bring sports, culture, and true crime video podcasts
The collaboration includes sports-focused shows like The Bill Simmons Podcast, The Ringer NFL Show, The Ringer NBA Show, Fantasy Football, and the F1 Show. It also brings pop culture and lifestyle series such as The Rewatchables, Dissect, Recipe Club, and The Dave Chang Show, along with true crime podcasts like Conspiracy Theories and Serial Killers.
Roman Wasenmüller, Spotify’s VP and Head of Podcasts, called the move "a new chapter for podcasting," highlighting the growing importance of video podcasts in digital media.
The new content will launch in the U.S. in early 2026, with additional regions following later. This initiative reflects Netflix’s ambition to compete in the rapidly growing video podcast market, currently dominated by platforms like YouTube, while also strengthening Spotify’s footprint outside traditional streaming.
Video podcasts have surged in popularity in recent years, offering both visual and audio experiences that enhance engagement for fans of sports, culture, and true crime content.
This partnership positions Netflix and Spotify to capture a larger share of the digital podcast audience while providing viewers with fresh, video-based content across multiple genres.
