Tifo Football Podcast

I’ve been slowly coming up to speed on football for a decade now. It was not the sport of my youth. Learning it through youth soccer via my kids and following professional football mostly by way of watching the Premiere League has been my vehicle. That also came with lots of news sites, books, videos, and of course podcast.

I am here at the start of 2026, through countless hours of research, to proclaim the best podcast in that space is the Tifo Football Podcast. Twice weekly it is perfect hour of serious commentary and data driven insight. That is then flipped on it’s head with goofball bits and tangents that ground the sport in it’s roots as a fun kids game and distraction from the world and life.

It is a priority listen every week, even when Tottenham play poorly, which is all the time recently. They rotate the cast of cohost, but generally Joe Devine is the ring leader guiding and then hilariously undermining every topic covered. Lastly I’ve talked about TIFO (their explainer YouTube channel) before on the old site and even on the podcast, RIP. Also their book, How to Watch Football, is great too.

Bonus: Somethings been cut!

I’ve been a long time fan of the All Fantasy Everything podcast and recently their producer has been shouting “somethings been cut!” when they need to edit out something problematic. He then confirmed its an homage to the Tifo Football Podcast. Love a cross over.
