Underdog Fantasy announces Dan Hanzus and Marc Sessler as hosts of new football show
Heed the Call will debut on August 12, airing three times per week during the 2024 preseason and five times per week throughout the regular season.
Underdog Fantasy has announced that former Around the NFL hosts, Dan Hanzus and Marc Sessler, will host a new football show, Heed the Call with Dan Hanzus and Marc Sessler, on the Underdog media network. The show will cover every game along with all the news and transactions during the football season.
“Our show with Underdog will follow a familiar formula, but will also include new elements and ideas that we think will resonate with our famously rational and even-keeled audience,” Hanzus said.
“While we are going to try some new things, we will still be breaking down every game, all the storylines…with just a touch of mirth.”
Heed the Call will debut on August 12, airing three times per week during the 2024 preseason and five times per week throughout the regular season, including its “flagship” recap on Sunday night.
The announcement of the launch of Heed the Call comes shortly after eight-time Super Bowl champion coach Bill Belichick announced he will be creating and hosting a new football show with Underdog as well.
Both shows will be run by executive producer Tim Livingston, who has overseen the development of Underdog’s media network up to this point.
“Dan and Marc have built a really special fan base and an incredible football community, and we are extremely fortunate to be able to bring them to the Underdog media network,” said Livingston.
In July, Underdog Fantasy and Jack Settleman’s Snapback Sports announced a seven-figure partnership renewal through 2027.
Settleman originally created Snapback Sports on the social media site SnapChat, and has extended its audience through various platforms.
Under the renewed partnership, Underdog will invest in Snapback Sports’ content, events, podcast, fans and more. Jack Settleman and Snapback Sports also hold an equity stake in Underdog.
