The series has run for fifteen years with James Corden having hosted previously


Sky’s sports-comedy panel show A League of Their Own is to end with the 20th anniversary series, to film in Manchester in August.

Launched in 2010, the show has become one of the broadcaster’s most enduring formats.

Romesh Ranganathan will return to host the 20th anniversary run, alongside team captains Jamie Redknapp and Jill Scott, and series regular Micah Richards.

Phil Edgar-Jones, executive director of original unscripted at Sky, 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 fifteen 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, CPL Productions said: “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.

“Thank you to Sky for allowing us the privilege of making the show and a huge thank you to the fans who have watched and supported the show over the years.”
