The new show is part of the extended partnership between global Budweiser and the Premier League, who have co-developed the authentic and engaging entertainment series. Behind The Game gives fans a unique insight into the icons of their favorite sport and music, with guests sharing stories of their unknown passions.
Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright hosts the show, in which guests partake in Budweiser bar games while discussing their careers and off-pitch interests, as well as the challenges and triumphs they have faced along the way.
“I'm so excited for you all to see this show. It's been a privilege to get to know these talented footballers and musicians,” said Ian Wright. “When you've faced the same pressures, criticism, joys and moments of self-doubt as a person, and you find common ground in your experiences, you can get a lot from a conversation. Some of their bar game skills need some work, though!”
“The Premier League is a world-class football league; our partnership allows us to further connect with key consumers and football fans across the globe. We are thrilled to extend our partnership in a meaningful way that goes beyond traditional sponsorship,” said Todd Allen, Global Budweiser Vice President. “This new series builds on our deep experience producing original content that connect our brand with culture, and we are excited to be at the forefront of sharing these stories.”
Premier League Chief Commercial Officer Will Brass said: “We are delighted to be working with Budweiser to deliver a new show to fans around the world, bringing footballers and musical icons together to share stories and talk about how they made it to where they are today.
“There is so much crossover between the worlds of football and music and we are excited to show the stars of these films in a different light, with the conversations brought together perfectly by Ian Wright.”
