Alex Scott, the former England international, has officially concluded her tenure as the primary presenter for Disney+’s coverage of the Women’s Champions League. Scott had held the position since the streaming platform secured the broadcasting rights for the competition in 2025.

According to reports, the decision to leave the role was made by Scott herself. She intends to shift her professional focus toward other projects, most notably her new program, 'One More Word WSL,' which she co-hosts with former teammates Anita Asante and Fara Williams.

While the departure is framed as a career pivot, the context of the role has been marked by operational challenges. Disney+ faced significant criticism regarding its production quality following the opening round of fixtures for the current season. Viewers and critics noted a series of technical difficulties during the broadcasts, though it remains unclear if these production issues played any role in Scott's decision to exit the position.
