Brendan Dunlop is a Windsor-born Canadian sportscaster and host of Soccer Central for the Sportsnet network in Canada, focusing mainly on soccer.
Dunlop was raised in Windsor, Ontario where he graduated from Catholic Central High School. Dunlop grew up a sports fan and had aspirations of becoming a sports journalist from watching Ray Ramano's character on Everybody Loves Raymond.[1] He originally wanted to be an actor.
Dunlop first gained attention cohosting The Footy Show on The Score. He was a co-host on The Hardcore Footy Show when this show was broadcast on Hardcore Sports Radio, Sirius XM Radio channel 98, alongside English sportscasters Kristian Jack and James Sharman.[2][3] He was cohost of the Fox Soccer Report, on the now-defunct Canadian channel Fox Sports World Canada.[4][5]
After the Score was purchased by Sportsnet in 2012 and re-branded as Sportsnet 360,[6] Dunlop became one of the regular co-hosts of Soccer Central.
Dunlop graduated from the University of Guelph-Humber.[7]
