Alex Scott has left her position as presenter of the Women's Champions League on Disney+ to focus on other projects.

Alex Scott has stepped down from her role as presenter of the Women's Champions League coverage on Disney+. The decision was Scott's own, made after just two rounds of the competition this season. She is moving on to focus on other projects, including her new show One More Word WSL, which she presents alongside fellow former England internationals Anita Asante and Fara Williams.

Scott, a former England and Arsenal defender, had fronted Disney+ coverage since the streaming platform obtained the rights to the elite women's European club competition in 2025. A Disney+ spokesperson said: 'We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Alex Scott for her contribution to our coverage of the Uefa Women's Champions League on Disney+. Her passion for the women's game and the competition shone through throughout her time with us, and we are grateful for all she contributed.'

Scott's representatives said she was 'grateful for the opportunities she has had to work with the team at Disney+ and hopes that they continue to work together in the future'. The Daily Mail reports that Disney's coverage had been criticised by fans following the launch of a Match of the Day-style programme featuring influencers alongside football analysis.
