The Friday Sports Panel is a weekly sporting chat show on BBC Radio 5 Live, hosted by Eleanor Oldroyd. The programme runs every Friday between 1300 & 1400. The show was created in 2014, as part of a revamped weekday lineup from the station and attracts some of the biggest names in sport to debate different sporting topics each week.
The show is a panel chat show, that takes three guests from different sports and sees them discuss the wider sporting topics that are making the headlines that week. The show is unique in that it sees sportspeople debate topics outside their own sports and encourages anecdotes and opinions and sees the panellists chat with each other and share their sporting opinions. The discussion is chaired by Eleanor Oldroyd.
A range of different guests from different sports have appeared on the show. In the show's opening sequence, each panellist is introduced with a highlight of their time in sport
