NYC Bees garner fifth spot this season on PL Fanzone on Peacock

The NYC Bees have now had a combination of five appearances or feature spots during the 2025-26 season on Premier League Fanzone Live, shown stateside on Peacock. The latest was a March 16 spot with NYC Bees Co-Founder Charlie Corr to preview the Brentford-Wolves match later that day. Other topics included Thiago, the Bees' run for European competition, and an overall synopsis of how Brentford could finish at the end of the campaign.

Fanzone is broadcast on Mondays and Fridays. This season, we've primarily been on the Monday show with Anita Jones and Leroy Rosenior, and they've been great in giving us ample segments (i.e. 3 minutes for the latest show).

If you are interested in participating in this worldwide live program either later this season or for 2026-27, reach out to us and we'd be happy to connect you with the PL Fanzone production team!

Brentford guest contribution: 'What Are Brighton Doing?' preview

The NYC Bees have added another opposing team platform to collaborate with! NYC Bees Co-Founder Charlie Corr provided some Brentford perspective for the site "What Are Brighton Doing?" The Q&A portion was part of the preview content for the Feb. 21 matchup between host Brentford and Brighton.

The platform is currently focused on articles and written analysis, but there is the possibility that it could include a podcast component further down the road. In any event, hopefully this becomes a regular location where we can contribute our Bees analysis!

NYC Bees, Brentford spotlighted in Because Football series

Andrew Baggaley of Because Football featured the NYC Bees Brentford Supporters' Group as part of his New York/New Jersey stop and the Road Trip to the World Cup series!

Andrew joined us at The Red Lion back in September, and he spoke with several of us about our group (Charlie Corr, Bruce Muni, Sarah Muni), which was the closing feature of Episode 1 of his four-part series. We highly recommend you check out his extensive work, where he covers every nook and cranny in our football space in the N.Y./NJ area.

In addition to the first episode, Bruce was included in the "What it means to host the World Cup" section of the third episode, and the opening sentence/audio of the second episode has a familiar voice! (Charlie)

We're humbled that our little story was a part of this series. Andrew's doing a sensational job and for the history buffs of this fine game, he taps into so much depth. The perfect build-up as we get ready for the FIFA World Cup here in North America this summer!

NYC Bees, Brentford net higher billing for PL Fanzone on Peacock

Brentford's moving up in status these days! For a second straight week, the NYC Bees and Co-Founder Charlie Corr were part of the global feed for Premier League Fanzone on Feb. 9. The morning show, broadcast live on Peacock's Premier League TV channel in the states, invited us for the second segment of their program, which rarely happens.

Little ol' Brentford typically is booked over the final minutes of this twice-weekly program, produced by the league in London. We gave a quick perspective of the club as the Bees prepare for their big home match against Arsenal on Thursday, Feb. 12.

This was a very last-minute booking. If we have other opportunities down the road to plan in advance, please reach out to us and let us know if you're interested in participating.

Fanzone runs on Mondays and Fridays, but we've mostly been a regular part of the Monday program this season as the production team is giving us ample time. It's a great way to show your fandom and expertise!

NYC Bees on PL Fanzone: Looking at Brentford's shorthanded win at Villa

The NYC Bees were once again on the international stage to tout Brentford's recent success: a shorthanded 1-0 victory against Aston Villa! NYC Bees Co-Founder Charlie Corr returned to the Monday edition of Premier League Fanzone on Feb. 2, with hosts Anita Jones and Leroy Rosenior.

The show was broadcast live on Peacock in the states. Brentford was the final segment to speak on the club's run to seventh place, overcoming a Kevin Schade red card to somehow gain all three points in the Bees' first win at Villa Park. There also was the look back at Villa's goal, which was taken away because of a clear-cut out-of-bounds sequence before the buildup, verified by VAR and multiple camera angles. It appears the third-place Villa supporters cannot stomach the moment, still.

Thanks as always to the Fanzone folks, who always host use several times during the Premier League season. As we gain more and more success, the odds of them needing a Brentford guest will increase. Feel free to reach out to the NYC Bees for more information or an introduction to Fanzone's production team if you'd like to participate!

Ultra World Podcast features NYC Brentford supporters at Red Lion

A new media outlet has been doing a superb job of covering the football fandom throughout New York City over the past several months. The NYC Bees and Brentford were featured in the Ultra World Podcast on Jan. 9, with a bunch of our New York and New Jersey supporters chatting with hosts Sean Cassels and Marc Ernay.

The duo dropped into The Red Lion in Greenwich Village to speak with a number of Bees fans during the club's 1-0 victory against Aston Villa in late August of 2025. The conversations provided a nice sampling of the folks who have latched onto the West London-based club, and what draws them into the New York supporters' group on a weekly basis. Interviews included NYC Bees co-founder Charlie Corr, Bruce and Sarah Muni, and Dan Mitzelman.

Big thanks to Sean and Marc for their work in putting together this feature, and we'll cross paths again down the road!

For a ninth occasion, the NYC Bees' shoot with Premier League in USA (#PLinUSA) led to another video appearance with our Brentford supporters! This time, NYC Bees Abhi Goyal and Charlie Corr were asked: Which player would you have a Guinness with?

Ireland and Brentford captain Nathan Collins felt like the proper answer!

NYC Bees at Saturdays Football Premier League event in Soho

Die-hard football fans in the New York City area probably are familiar with the Saturdays Football store located in Soho, Manhattan. The NYC Bees dropped in for a Premier League event on Dec. 18 to don a little Brentford signage!

There was a photo station to showcase the club's latest jersey, plus some trivia and foosball competitions.

It might take some time before we start seeing a plethora of Brentford vintage jerseys available at Saturdays Football, but it was definitely a nice opportunity to connect with the establishment, which is sure to gain even more popularity with the FIFA World Cup coming here in 2026!

Big shout-out to Raul at Saturdays Football for setting up this event!

NYC Bees chat all things football on live Shades of Blue LIT Stream

To close out December, NYC Bees co-founder Charlie Corr joined the Shades of Blue Network in the weekly LIT Stream. The Dec. 18 show, which was the final LIT edition of 2025, delved into a number of topics beyond our respective clubs (Brentford and Manchester City).

One of the big highlights was all of our take regarding the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which we will be hosting in a matter of months.

A fun show as always, and we'll chat again next year!

Brentford FC Game Day Program: International Bees Q&A: Charlie Corr


The official Brentford FC Game Day Program for Oct. 25 (available at Gtech Community Stadium) featured an NYC Bees-related, full-page piece!

NYC Bees Co-Founder Charlie Corr participated in a Q&A that delved into Brentford fandom origins, the role supporting Brentford stateside and in New York City, and much, much more. The team also conveniently coordinated this at the same time as an actual in-stadium appearance for Brentford-Liverpool, which resulted in a 3-2 Bees victory!

Our gratitude to the club for putting some focus on the growth of international fandom, and hopefully we'll see a few more familiar faces in the program down the road!

BBC Radio: Sports World Sunday panel appearance for Brentford v City

Before Brentford's Oct. 5 match against Manchester City, NYC Bees co-founder Charlie Corr joined BBC Radio for a live appearance on the Sports World Sunday panel. This marked our third appearance on this far-reaching pregame show.

The program was hosted by Delyth Lloyd and football reporter George Addo. We covered topics ranging from new manager Keith Andrews, to Thiago and the new-look Bees attack, season predictions and more.

BBC Radio's Sports World Premier League pregame coverage is specifically for the 11:30 a.m. ET (4:30 p.m. GMT) Sunday kickoff slot. If an upcoming Brentford match is moved to this kickoff time/day, there's a good chance we will make a return. That said, if any other Brentford supporters would be interested in participating, we'd be happy to connect you with their producer, who has overseen this show for the past couple seasons now.

More coverage is on the way from Lewis. He will be visiting The Red Lion for the Sept. 20 Fulham-Brentford match, and will be looking to chat with NYC Bees supporters for an upcoming story on his Substack, View From the Front Row. Looking forward to that!
