The 2025 BET Awards brought viewers legendary performances and nostalgic moments. Its culturally impactful series, 106 & Park, celebrated 25 years. During the ceremony, NFL MVP Cam Newton and CBS Sports Analyst, Reporter, and Host Ashley Nicole Moss revealed that they’re hosting a new spinoff of the music series dedicated to the top moments in sports.
106 & Sports will premiere this fall, and its tagline, “where sports meets culture, style, and real talk,” sums up the experience it aims to provide its audience.
According to a press release, the upcoming weekly series is a collaboration between BET Media Group and Fulwell Entertainment’s award-winning studio, SpringHill.
What is 106 & Sports?
While sports shows are on the rise, there’s a gap for shows that delve into the cultural side. 106 & Sports aims to fill this void with interviews, a countdown, and viral moments. Its episodes, which will be filmed in Atlanta, Georgia, will also feature unfiltered commentary.
The release states, “‘106 & Sports’ is a fast-paced, culture-forward countdown that breaks down the week’s Top 10 moments in sports—from viral highlights and locker room soundbites to championship fits and trending topics. Each episode delivers a dynamic blend of athlete interviews, unfiltered commentary, and real talk that lives at the intersection of sports and Black culture.”
In addition, 106 & Sports will also include audience-voted debates. All portions of the show will lead up to The Main Event, the #1 story of the week.
