The Athletic launches interactive YouTube show The Athletic LIVE on September 8

The Athletic debuts a new interactive digital video series, The Athletic LIVE, beginning September 8. The show will feature segments covering news, analysis, and game watchalongs, utilizing a new studio located in northern Los Angeles. Staff analysts including Charles McDonald, Daniel Popper, and Zach Harper will host, alongside content creators such as Max Browne and Kofie Yeboah. Viewers will participate in real-time through a chat feature that helps determine show topics. Programming will initially air on Sundays and Mondays to align with NFL broadcasts, with plans to expand to five episodes per week as the NBA season approaches. The project is supported by a sponsorship from Google Gemini and follows the company's previous success with video podcasts and investigative series like Pablo Torre Finds Out.
