League preferences and team allegiances may differ, but one thing remains consistent in the world of football: the sport's legion of passionate fans. For those wanting to stay on top of the latest and greatest, Spotify's new Football Now playlist is the perfect companion.

Similar to Spotify's Daily Sports and Daily Drive playlists, Football Now gives fans one destination for access to the sport's best audio content. The playlist also includes music based on a user's personalized preferences, making it a unique experience that's tailored to every listener.

Updated daily, this football-specific playlist is currently accessible for fans in the U.K. and Germany. Whether you prefer to yell goal! or gol! Spotify has plenty of football podcasts to give you the game commentary, latest news, interviews, opinions, and more about your favorite leagues, players, and clubs.

Need help deciding which football podcast to explore first? We've rounded up suggestions of some of our favorite U.K. and German podcasts based on their topics. Check it out below:

For the fan who wants to hear stories from the professionals Einfach mal Luppen (German): This podcast is cohosted by two professional footballers-and brothers-Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos and Eintracht Braunschweig midfielder Felix Kroos.

Players (German): This podcast goes behind the scenes of the Euro tournament through short and concise episodes that will be released twice a day. On the show, listeners will learn more about the background and context of the tournament as the host explores questions like Who actually came up with the idea of a pan-European European Championship? In the morning edition, host Raphael Sp th and European Championship reporter Matthias Friebe will talk about the topic of the day. In the evening, the podcast will dive deeper into another narrative topic.

For the fan who wants a good laugh The Teamsheet (U.K.): On this Spotify Original podcast, celebrity football fans serve as guest hosts who share their top fantasy picks if they were in charge of building their own football team. Over the course of a week, episodes will be released daily, and in each one guests debate the merits of whom to add for their goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, striker, wildcard, and manager. On the final day, the hosts design their perfect kits. Listeners can expect laughs and legends as they hear from the likes of comedian Elis James, professional footballer Lianne Sanderson, and more.
