Former NBA star Gilbert Arenas is teaming up with well-known media personality Skip Bayless on a new show. The Athletic's Andrew Marchand reported on Wednesday that Arenas and Bayless will be part of a new football analysis program. The two are recognized among fans for sharing some of the hottest takes on basketball.

Arenas still hosts "Gil's Arena," where he's joined by Josiah Johnson, Brandon Jennings, Rashad McCants, Kenyon Martin Sr., and Nick Young. The show continues to run successfully.

Bayless, meanwhile, has been off television since 2024. He left Fox Sports 1 in August 2024 after relaunching "Undisputed" a year earlier. Since then, the longtime analyst has been hosting "The Skip Bayless Show" on YouTube.

“The show will be produced and owned by Underdog, who host Arenas’ current basketball program, Gil’s Arena, that has gained popularity in the digital world. ‘The Arena: Gridiron’ will feature Bayless, former NFL cornerback Aqib Talib and former NFL coach Jay Gruden,” Marchand wrote.
