NFL brothers Travis and Jason Kelce have long dominated on the field and are now becoming two of the top podcasters.
On Tuesday, Amazon announced that it signed the football duo to a three-year deal with its Wondery podcast division. They founded their “New Heights” show in 2022, which has become popular in sports commentary. Their YouTube channel has over two million subscribers, and Wondery will use the massive podcast to sell ads and distribute the show internationally. This lucrative deal is reportedly worth $100 million, according to Forbes.
“We love this show, and the fanbase that has grown with us over the last two seasons,” the Kelce brothers said in a joint statement. “We are going to create some groundbreaking moments together through this partnership.”
Jason retired from the NFL in March 2024 after a 13-year career with the Philadelphia Eagles. Travis has spent 11 seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs. Aside from their skills on the field, the brother’s sports insight has attracted a wave of football fans in their two years on air. “New Heights” was the 14th most popular podcast in the U.S. last quarter, according to data by Edison Research.
Fans who wish to enjoy the podcast ad-free can join the Wondery+ subscription service. In addition to the standard streaming platforms that feature the show, Wondery app users can now enjoy “New Heights.”
