The Athletic FC Podcast
All agesBest for whole family★ 4.3Free
The Athletic's flagship football podcast brings the outlet's reporters, including David Ornstein, into daily conversations about the biggest stories in the game. It ran six days a week during the 2026 World Cup with analysis from the host cities. The tone is professional and journalistic, so it is one of the cleaner options on this list.
Why we picked it
It is a reliable, accessible way to understand what is actually happening in world soccer, reported by people who cover it for a living. The measured, mostly clean style makes it easy to have on around older kids.
