Jolie Sharpe Leads Race to Glory Launch on Fox One Sunday
Jolie Sharpe hosts Race to Glory as fox one and Overtime launch the unscripted shortform series Sunday across Fox One’s social-media channels. The project ties creator-led competition to the company’s World Cup push, with fans getting a different entry point into tournament coverage.
Rakai and Tylil Lead Teams
The series pits two teams of shortform creators against each other: Mud United, captained by Rakai, and Aura City, captained by Tylil. Mud United includes Tota, H00pify, and Sam Russo, while Aura City includes Sketch, Davis, and Rose Ruland.
The creators will compete in soccer-inspired challenges across New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and Philadelphia. The schedule starts with New York on May 27–29, then moves to Los Angeles on June 12–13, Miami on June 27–28, and Philadelphia on July 12–14.
Overtime's 500-Piece Push
Overtime will produce more than 500 pieces of original shortform content for the collaboration, including behind-the-scenes footage, challenge videos, selfies, and recaps. That volume makes Race to Glory more than a one-off promo; it is a sustained social feed built to keep the tournament in front of younger viewers between matches.
Brian Borkowski said, “Creators play a critical role in how younger fans experience sports today” and added, “Together with Overtime, we’re delivering tournament content that feels native and engaging for the next generation. By tapping into creator voices, we’re giving fans new ways to experience the energy, storytelling and culture of the tournament beyond the game itself.”
Fox One and 104 Matches
Fox and FS1 have the exclusive English-language rights in the United States to the upcoming FIFA World Cup, and they will carry all 104 matches. Fox One plans start at $19.99 per month, making the new series part of a broader effort to make the platform the place where tournament viewers land first.
Marc Kohn called the project “a first-of-its-kind collaboration and production built specifically for the next generation of sports fans.” He also said, “Overtime brings sports to the next generation of fans, and there is no bigger stage to do that than the World Cup. Fox One is where every match will live, and our job is to make sure the fans who grew up on their phones know exactly where to find it.”
Race to Glory is designed as alternate programming, not a replacement for the matches themselves. The practical takeaway for viewers is simple: the competition starts on Sunday, but the real business case is the long runway of shortform clips that can keep Fox One’s World Cup audience inside the same ecosystem from one challenge to the next.
