Fantasy Football League is a British television programme hosted by Frank Skinner and David Baddiel. The programme began on BBC Radio 5 and was hosted by Dominik Diamond before transferring to BBC2, with three series being broadcast from January 1994 to May 1996. The show then moved to ITV for live specials on alternate nights throughout 1998 World Cup and then again through the 2004 European Championship. It is not known if the show is ever likely to return. In its absence, Baddiel and Skinner instead went on to produce a series of podcasts for The Times, documenting their experiences while travelling across Germany at the 2006 World Cup. The success of these led to the duo being signed by Absolute Radio, where they hosted a similar show from South Africa during the 2010 World Cup.

Two new 'Phoenix From the Flames' segments are featured, as well as the recreations of Geoff Hurst's last-minute strike in the 1966 World Cup final, George Best's cheeky goal against Gordon Banks and Banks' own great save from Pele's header in the 1970 World Cup. A number of footie-loving celebrities take their place on the couch, whilst Statto is on hand to take the usual abuse from the two hosts.
