Now, the duo are putting their chemistry on full display for football fans worldwide.
Earlier installments of Beckham & Friends Live featured eclectic line-ups including Guy Ritchie, Stanley Tucci, James Corden, and Joseph Fiennes, with Thierry Henry popping in to keep things lively.

While the final will air as usual on CBS and Paramount+ without all the Hollywood gloss, the Beckham & Friends Live stream is where the glamour will really be happening.
