Breakfast Ball is an American sports and entertainment talk show starring Craig Carton, Danny Parkins, and Mark Schlereth.

When Fox Sports 1 (FS1) launched in 2013, its early morning time slot was used to air game replays and reruns of other shows.

[4][5] Breakfast Ball was announced for the network's 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. EST early morning slot, serving as a lead in to The Facility, another show that launched as part of FS1's reworked schedule.

[6] For its debut week, however, the show aired at 12 p.m.[1][5] Though Breakfast Ball replaced The Carton Show in FS1's early morning slot, Carton was selected as a host of the new series, as was Chicago-based radio host Danny Parkins and former National Football League (NFL) player Mark Schlereth.

[7] Parkins had made guest appearances on FS1's First Things First and The Herd with Colin Cowherd shortly before being announced as a co-host on Breakfast Ball.
