BET has officially canceled “106 & Sports.”
The network pulled the plug on the reimaged reboot after just one eight-episode season. Launched on October 15, 2025, the series was co-hosted by former NFL MVP Cam Newton and sports analyst Ashley Nicole Moss.
According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the show struggled to generate the digital “buzz” to offset its high production costs. Filmed at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta and executive produced by LeBron James’ SpringHill Company, the show attempted to recapture the magic of the original 106 & Park. The show blends sports debates with music and fashion. But leadership changes at BET and Skydance’s acquisition of Paramount are seen as factors behind the cancellation.
Tiffany Lea Williams, BET’s vice president of unscripted programming and development, spoke about the vision of the reboot.
“Filming in Atlanta made sense for this chapter,” Williams said. “The city’s HBCU roots and vibrant Black creative community added an authenticity and energy that helped define the launch.”
“This isn’t just a show about sports—it’s a show about the culture that makes the game,” Newton said. “When I think about 106 & Park, I remember how it was a voice for the culture. Now, we’re doing the same thing for sports. This is where you’ll get the real talk, the authentic insights, and the kind of conversations you won’t find anywhere else.”
“I know how much this iconic brand means to so many people, including myself. To carry that legacy forward with 106 & Sports is an honor,” Moss added. “My hope is for people to feel the same kind of connection with this show that they felt with 106 & Park.”
Although no new episodes will be produced, the remaining episodes are available for streaming on BET platforms.
