STAMFORD, Conn. – October 18, 2021 – Popular soccer personalities Roger Bennett and Michael Davies, affectionately known as “The Men in Blazers,” return for their eighth season with NBC Sports, it was announced today.

The full 30-minute THE MEN IN BLAZERS SHOW returns Sunday, Nov. 7 on NBCSN.
“It is the honor of a lifetime to take this show, reveling in the telenovela of storylines coming out of the Premier League, and the lessons of life that emerge from them, to Season 8 -- the same number as Magnum P.I., Diff’rent Strokes, and Full House,” said Bennett.
“We couldn’t be more excited to be back with NBC Sports for what promises to be the most epic Premier League season since 1748,” Davies added. “Our goals remain entertaining the diehards, staying on budget and survival. In other words, we are Burnley.”
“We are thrilled to have Roger and Michael back with us,” said Wendy Bass, NBC Sports Senior Vice President of Programming & Rights Management. “The Men in Blazers deliver unique color and humor that U.S. viewers can’t find anywhere else.”
Last season’s show featured big-name guests including John Oliver, Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers, USWNT defender Crystal Dunn, Arizona Cardinals DE J.J. Watt, Los Angeles Lakers G Alex Caruso, Wu Tang Clan’s RZA, Liverpool star Mohamed Salah, musician Big Boi, legendary Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, musician Niall Horan, USWNT’s Sam Mewis, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr.
