Sky Sports to bring back iconic show which was axed after 21-year run

Sky Sports are rebooting their Sunday Supplement show four years after it disappeared from television screens.

The iconic programme first reviewed the weekend’s newspapers from 1999 until 2020, and succeeded Hold the Back Page.

Guest football journalists offered their opinions on the latest stories in football around a breakfast table.

And now Sunday Supplement is set to make it’s return ahead of next season.

The Daily Mail have reported that Dharmesh Sheth will host the new edition of the programme.

Sheth, who is already a reporter and presenter for Sky Sports News, has been with Sky since 1998.

“To be given the opportunity to present the show is all a bit surreal,” he told the Mail. “And I can’t wait to get started.”

Sunday Supplement was cancelled in 2020 due to fixture congestion as per a Sky Sports spokesman.

“The huge volume of live football since the restart and a condensed season that has already begun means we must look at how best to deploy our resources for the benefit of our customers,” they said.

It was still broadcast during the COVID pandemic, but the presenter and guests filmed the show via Zoom instead of the studio.

Despite leaving television screens five years ago, Sunday Supplement has continued in the form of a podcast.

However, fans will now be able to watch debates and discussions after Saturday’s fixtures once again.

The 2025/26 Premier League fixtures have already been announced.

Reigning champions Liverpool host Bournemouth on Friday August 15, live on talkSPORT.

A mouth-watering clash between Manchester United and Arsenal will be played at Old Trafford two days later.

League One and League Two both get underway over the weekend of August 1 to 3.

The new Championship season will begin a week later from August 8 to 10.

Champions League football returns on September 16, with the Europa League and Conference League following in later weeks.
