"I'm absolutely buzzing to co-host Last Pundit Standing!" said Deeney. "There's something really special about the energy that surrounds an exciting new show like this.
"We're bringing together some amazing creators in incredible locations, with some huge special guests. I can't wait to dive in and have some fun over the series."
Fiona Campbell, controller of youth at the BBC, added: "The BBC is a huge believer in investing in new talent. Through this unique collaboration between BBC Creator Lab and BBC Sport, Last Pundit Standing offers a unique opportunity to showcase 12 of the UK's most passionate sports creators from right across the UK.
"We can't wait for them to bring their passion and production excellence to the BBC and iPlayer."
The show is expected to go out later this year.
