Netflix will livestream Charlamagne Tha God’s Breakfast Club Show

Live from New York: Charlamagne Tha God and the crew of the morning talk show ‘The Breakfast Club’ on Netflix.

Starting June 1, Netflix will stream “The Breakfast Club” live daily, available to subscribers worldwide. It will be the streamer’s first daily live program, airing every weekday starting (bright and early!) at 6 a.m. Eastern.

The Netflix livestream will feature nearly three hours of uninterrupted programming, with commentary from Charlamagne and co-hosts DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious and Loren LoRosa and interviews with guests. While the radio broadcast of “The Breakfast Club” will continue to feature traditional commercial breaks, viewers on Netflix will have an “uninterrupted experience” – with commercial breaks filled with exclusive bonus segments, including behind-the-scenes moments and extended discussions.

The video podcast version of “The Breakfast Club” moved to Netflix in January 2026, when full episodes of the show stopped being distributed on YouTube. This led some fans to express their frustration that the video version is no longer free to watch. That was part of a larger licensing deal between iHeartMedia and Netflix for exclusive rights to the video versions of a series of podcasts. Until now, episodes of “The Breakfast Club” have been available on Netflix shortly after the radio broadcast, but now they are available live.

Charlamagne Tha God said in a statement: “Do you all understand what ‘global living’ really means? Mornings in New York. Daytime in Britain and Ghana. Evenings in other parts of the world. The media landscape will always evolve, but one thing has consistently emerged: live programming. That’s a big reason why ‘The Breakfast Club’ has maintained its reign for so long. We’re building something powerful: real-time conversation, real community, on a global scale. The future belongs to those who can see what’s happening. happens.” possible – and believe me, the vision for ‘The Breakfast Club’ and Netflix is ​​crystal clear.”

“The Breakfast Club” originates from iHeartMedia’s Power 105.1/WWPR-FM radio station in New York and will continue to be nationally syndicated by Premiere Networks on more than 100 radio stations nationwide and on the iHeartRadio app, with all audio-only rights and distribution retained by iHeartMedia. Audio replays of “The Breakfast Club” are also available on podcast platforms including Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

“’The Breakfast Club’ has been a cultural staple for years and we’re excited to make it our first daily live morning show on Netflix,” said Lauren Smith, Netflix’s VP of content licensing and programming strategy. “It’s a major step forward in how we bring culturally defining audio-first franchises to life for Netflix audiences around the world, and we’re excited to deepen our partnership with iHeartMedia.”

Netflix jumped into the podcast space last year. It has licensed shows from iHeartMedia, Spotify and Barstool, and has built a roster of original podcasts including “The Pete Davidson Show” and the upcoming pop culture interview podcast “We’re Back!” With Brian Williams,” hosted by the former NBC News anchor.

In December 2025, iHeartMedia extended its deal with Charlamagne (real name: Lenard McKelvey) for another five years. “The Breakfast Club” first launched in 2010 and is “widely regarded as the most informative and entertaining contemporary hip-hop/R&B morning show today,” iHeart claims.

Guests who have appeared on the show include President Barack Obama, President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Jay-Z, Cardi B, Kendrick Lamar, Kevin Hart, Snoop Dogg, Future, 50 Cent, Lizzo, Will Smith, Alicia Keys and many more. The crew also hosts ‘Weekends with The Breakfast Club’, a three-hour weekly program featuring a countdown of the top 20 songs on the charts and interviews. Charlamagne Tha God and “The Breakfast Club” were inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 2020.
