Nickelodeon UK & Ireland announced a long-term partnership with The Football League to produce Nick Kicks, a live-action football programme covering all 72 clubs of the Football League, earlier this year.

The 22-minute long programme features match highlights covering all 72 clubs of the Football League, and will run until the end of this season as well as across 2016-17 and 2017-18 seasons. In total, Nickelodeon UK & Ireland has committed to producing over 100 episodes of the series across the three seasons.

"We know that UK kids love football whether it's played in stadiums or in the back garden so it is brilliant to be producing a series that will bring families a Nickelodeon take on the nation's top sport. Nick Kicks is going to be funny and will give fans a unique look at their favourite clubs and players," said Alison Bakunowich, VP, Head of Editorial, Nickelodeon UK & Ireland.

Presented by Roman Kemp and Rachel Stringer, Nick Kicks will take viewers behind the scenes of the Football League with visits to local clubs. Kids will be given a chance to experience what it is like to be a football manager or player for the day at their favourite clubs as well as being given the opportunity to interview players and staff. SpongeBob SquarePants also plays a part as he takes on various club mascots in weekly challenges.

Shaun Harvey, chief executive of The Football League, said: "Offering a fun insight into life at clubs up and down the country, Nick Kicks will help us to engage and inspire a new generation of Football League fans. We look forward to working with Nickelodeon on Nick Kicks in what is another exciting first for The Football League."
