Matthew Berry's Fantasy Football Show Shifts To ESPN+

ESPN is moving Matthew Berry’s daily fantasy football show to ESPN+ this year, with the first episode posting this afternoon. Berry’s “The Fantasy Show” will have a similar look-and-feel on ESPN+ as it did last year on ESPN2. This season, Berry says the show has the freedom of running longer than the 21-minute format it had to keep on linear TV. “With ESPN+, there are no limits on time,” Berry said. “This year, if there’s a particularly big news day we can do a deep dive on that story.”

Berry also said the on-demand nature of ESPN+ will be an advantage, especially in the preseason when it will devote shows to each position. “It will be helpful if your draft is tomorrow; and it will remain helpful if your draft is in three weeks,” Berry said.
