Alex Scott leaves Disney+ Women’s Champions League coverage

Alex Scott has left Disney+’s Women’s Champions League coverage after presenting it since the platform secured the rights in 2025.

Scott’s representatives said she hopes to work with Disney+ again, and the broadcaster thanked her for her contribution.

She plans to focus on other projects, including One More Word WSL, a show she launched with former England internationals Anita Asante and Fara Williams.

Disney+’s coverage drew criticism after an unscheduled advert interrupted Arsenal’s match against HB Køge, and its new Match of the Day-style programme also drew complaints from fans.

Scott said she did not agree with all the decisions made about the coverage and had tried to advise the team.

The criticism comes as women’s football seeks stronger coverage, with Scott previously saying programmes can work if they are done well.

Disney+’s presenting team is expected to continue, and the competition resumes on 28 October.
