Travis and Jason Kelce have added another massive win to their résumés, but this time off the football field with their hit New Heights podcast surging to the top of Spotify’s rankings. The achievement further cements the Kelce brothers’ cultural influence as they continue contributing to the sports and entertainment scene.
Travis and Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast ranks top on this Spotify list
Front Office Sports reports that New Heights has officially secured the title of the number one sports podcast of 2025 on Spotify, making it a milestone moment for Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce. Launched in September 2022, the podcast is all about NFL insights, personal anecdotes, humor, and major celebrity appearances, helping it dominate a competitive field of long-running sports shows.
According to the report, the show surpassed heavyweights like Pardon My Take, The Bill Simmons Podcast, and The Pat McAfee Show, the latter ranking sixth. The Kelce brothers’ mix of authenticity, banter, and headline-making interviews has consistently fueled viral moments, turning the podcast into a pop cultural contributor.
A major part of the show’s success is its guest list, which spans sports, Hollywood, and pop culture. The Kelces have welcomed stars including Caitlin Clark, LeBron James, Shaquille O’Neal, Brad Pitt, Adam Sandler, and George Clooney. Specifically, the episode featuring Clooney dropped the same week the brothers learned they were No. 1.
Another defining contributing factor came from the August 13 episode, when Taylor Swift appeared for a two-hour conversation and announced her 12th album, “The Life Of A Showgirl.” The episode quickly became the show’s most viewed. For example, during the Clooney episode, Travis opened up about his relationship, sharing: “He never argued with Taylor Swift.” Candid moments like this, combined with their natural sibling chemistry, have kept fans returning week after week and solidified the Kelces as media powerhouses.
This accomplishment highlights just how successfully the brothers have transitioned into digital creators while maintaining their NFL presence. As Travis gears up to face the Houston Texans on Sunday, December 7, with the Chiefs sitting at 6-6, his impact continues extending well beyond the football field.
