Weekly series launches June 2, featuring insight, storytelling, and analysis from two of the game’s most accomplished players

HUNT VALLEY, MD.- May 27, 2026 – Sinclair’s AMP Sports today announced the launch of Style of Play, a new weekly women’s soccer podcast hosted by Julie Ertz and Kealia Watt. The series will kick off on June 2, across all major podcast platforms, with full video episodes available on YouTube.

Ertz, a two-time Women’s World Cup champion and one of the most decorated players in U.S. Soccer history, and Watt, a NCAA Division 1 National Champion, will bring expert analysis, personal storytelling, and behind-the-scenes insight. Each episode will explore the latest headlines, key moments shaping the sport, and feature conversations with athletes, coaches, and influential voices from across the global soccer landscape.

“The growth of women’s soccer is undeniable, and Style of Play gives us an opportunity to connect fans with the voices and perspectives of athletes who have competed at the very highest level,” said Rob Weisbord, COO and President of Local Media at Sinclair. “We’re especially pleased to launch the show during the World Cup, at a time when global interest in the sport is growing. Fans will have the opportunity to hear unique insights and commentary from two of the top former U.S. Women’s National Team players, Julie and Kealia, whose credibility, authenticity, and deep understanding of the game make this podcast a natural extension of how we’re continuing to expand our sports content and engage audiences across platforms.”

Style of Play is supported by a strong roster of brand partners, including Coors Light, Airbnb and ZipRecruiter.

“Style of Play is where the game gets personal. This is a fresh, unfiltered look at life on and off the pitch through the eyes of the women changing the game. From elite performance and locker room mentality to motherhood, identity, pressure, style, growth, and everything in between. No two journeys are the same, but every story shares one thing in common: greatness,” said Ertz. “As we move closer to the Women’s World Cup in 2027, there’s never been a more exciting time to be part of the conversation and celebrate the continued rise of women’s soccer and women’s sports.”

“We want to create a space where athletes can speak authentically, from the biggest moments on the pitch to the stories, challenges, and perspectives that happen behind the scenes, and we’re excited to help shape and elevate that conversation with Style of Play,” added Watt. “Women are creating new opportunities, changing perceptions, and driving incredible growth across all sports, and we can’t wait to spotlight the voices and stories leading that movement.”

Style of Play expands AMP Sports’ growing portfolio of original programming, including The Triple Option, Unfiltered Soccer, Post Moves, Throwbacks and Cousins, connecting brands with passionate sports audiences through premium content distributed across linear and digital platforms.

Launching ahead of the Women’s World Cup, Style of Play will be available beginning June 2 on all podcast platforms, including Apple, Spotify, and YouTube. Short-form content and exclusive extras will be distributed across digital and social channels. Follow the show on social media at @styleofplayshow.
