Comedy sports quiz to end after 15 years and 20 seasons

Sky’s comedy sports quiz A League Of Their Own is to end after 15 years.

The 20th series, which goes into production in Manchester this summer, is being billed as a valedictory  celebration of  the long-running show.

Romesh Ranganathan will return as host  alongside team captains Jamie Redknapp and Jill Scott, and series regular Micah Richards.

Sky executive Phil Edgar-Jones said: ‘Series 20 is the perfect opportunity to celebrate everything A League of Their Own has achieved and to give it the send-off it truly deserves."

‘We’re incredibly proud of the show — it’s been a cornerstone of Sky’s entertainment line-up for 15 years and has delivered endless laughter, heart, and unforgettable moments. Huge thanks to the brilliant team at CPL Productions and to our fantastic on-screen line-up — Romesh, Jamie, Jill and Micah — who continue to bring such energy and chemistry to the show."

Murray Boland, creative director of programme-makers, CPL Padded: ‘The first episode of A League of Their Own was broadcast in March 2010. The idea we’d still be making the show in 15 years’ time, having also made nine series of ALOTO Road Trips and won two Baftas would’ve sounded totally impossible. 

‘It’s been an incredible journey. We would like to thank all the amazing performers, guests and sports stars for all the laughs and inspiration. We’d also like to thank all the brilliant people who’ve worked so hard on the production team and crew.’

James Corden hosted the show until 2019, when Ranganathan took over. Jimmy Carr has been the most frequent guest, with 24 appearances, followed by  Rob Beckett with 15.

It has spawned local versions in Australia, the US, Denmark, Germany and Spain

The last season will air on Sky Max and streaming service Now later this year, with  details about the guests expected to be revealed soon.
