Jeopardy! fans will get an extra game this week in the lead-up to the 32nd Tournament of Champions.
TuneIn and Sony Pictures Television announced today that the opening audio-only exhibition game of the upcoming Tournament of Champions will be streamed exclusively on TuneIn for free.
The exhibition game will stream live on Jeopardy! Radio on TuneIn on Jan. 24 at 7 p.m. ET and will be available on demand after the premiere. This game features the top three seeds from the 32nd Tournament of Champions—Adriana Harmeyer (15 wins), Isaac Hirsch (9 wins), and Drew Basile (7 wins)—who will later be seeded into the semifinal round of the tournament, with these players battling in this exhibition game before playing other players in the tournament.
“The Tournament of Champions is always full of surprises, so this matchup gives this season’s top-ranked champions a chance to face off and test their skills against each other ahead of the tournament,” said Sally Umsted, Vice President of Consumer Products and Licensing for Sony Pictures Television. “By teaming up with TuneIn, fans can experience even more of the excitement around the tournament and hear some of their favorite players compete for fun.”

Also announced today by Sony Pictures Television and TuneIn is an extension of their partnership, begun in the fall of 2022, to continue exclusive distribution of the two TuneIn radio channels—Jeopardy! Radio and Jeopardy! Radio Classic. (Both channels can be listened to here at thejeopardyfan.com as well.) Jeopardy! Radio is a stream curated by the show’s producers that features the greatest and most memorable episodes of the show, while Jeopardy! Radio Classics is a separate 24/7 stream that covers nearly 40 years of gameplay that lets listeners play at home and on the go to see how they stack up against contestants from decades past. Fans can also enjoy commercial-free access to both Jeopardy! Radio and Jeopardy! Radio Classics with TuneIn Premium.
“The fast-paced gameplay of Jeopardy! is perfect for audio and continues to be a fan favorite of our listeners year-over-year,” said Kevin Straley, Chief Content Officer at TuneIn. “Our extended partnership with Sony Pictures Television lets us continue to bring 24/7 access to America’s Favorite Quiz Show, as well as debut new, never-televised content like the Tournament of Champions Exhibition Game.”

And, here’s the “tale of the tape” for Friday’s exhibition game, which will be streamable on Jeopardy! Radio on January 24 at 7 PM Eastern:
Friday, January 24, 2025:
|
Adriana Harmeyer 360 correct, 40 incorrect 20/23 on rebound attempts (on 60 rebound opportunities) 37.80% in first on buzzer (344/910) 12/17 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $19,000) 13/16 in Final Jeopardy Average Coryat: $16,363 |
|
Isaac Hirsch 272 correct, 47 incorrect 16/20 on rebound attempts (on 43 rebound opportunities) 47.28% in first on buzzer (269/569) 14/20 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $9,800) 7/10 in Final Jeopardy Average Coryat: $20,400 |
|
Drew Basile 184 correct, 40 incorrect 9/13 on rebound attempts (on 40 rebound opportunities) 41.36% in first on buzzer (189/457) 9/14 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $26,000) 3/8 in Final Jeopardy Average Coryat: $16,800 |
Overall Thoughts: The prediction model believes that Isaac has a 35.2% chance of taking victory, Adriana a 33.3% chance, and Drew a 31.5% chance. (I think the major difference between Drew and Adriana here is their respective get rates in Final Jeopardy.)

How will The Jeopardy! Fan handle live stats on Bluesky and Threads? If the plan is to post them alongside initial streaming of this game, it would be wise to advertise that well ahead of time, as they would be simultaneous with the second game of the Champions Wildcard final in 22% of the United States (and generally, the time slot where the most discussion of the game occurs on social media).
