“Yellow Couch”: BVB legend launches own talk show | OneFootball

After the end of the Bundesliga season, Patrick Owomoyela is launching his own talk show, “Yellow Couch,” on Pluto TV. The former BVB pro welcomes current and former Dortmund stars for relaxed conversations and entertaining challenges.

Together with Borussia Dortmund and Pluto TV, Patrick Owomoyela is launching a new football format. Since May 19, the talk show “Yellow Couch with Patrick Owomoyela” has been available free of charge on the streaming platform. The first season consists of six episodes and focuses on relaxed conversations with familiar faces from the football world.

The spotlight is on current and former BVB professionals. Guests include captain Emre Can, midfielder Felix Nmecha, World Cup winner Roman Weidenfeller, and Dortmund legend Kevin Großkreutz. Rather than creating a classic interview atmosphere, the show aims above all to offer personal insights. Conversations about careers, everyday life, and life away from the pitch are combined with small challenges and entertainment elements.

Owomoyela describes the concept of the new show clearly: “No stiff interviews, just honest conversations and lots of fun.” The former Dortmund player wants to show fans a different side of the players and deliberately bring them closer to the personalities behind the football.

The timing of the release was also chosen deliberately. After the end of the Bundesliga season and with the upcoming World Cup in view, the format is intended to bridge the football-free period. Owomoyela says: “The timing feels perfect: the Bundesliga season is over, and anticipation for the World Cup is growing.”

“Yellow Couch” is being produced in cooperation with Borussia Dortmund. The partnership between the Bundesliga club and Pluto TV has already been in place since 2024. Together, the two partners operate, among other things, the channel “Borussia Dortmund TV,” which broadcasts content about the club around the clock.

Owomoyela himself remains one of BVB’s familiar faces to this day. Between 2008 and 2013, the former full-back played for Dortmund and won the German championship twice during that time. He also earned 11 caps for the German national team. Today, the 46-year-old works, among other things, as a TV pundit and brand ambassador.
