Scott’s broadcasting career started at the German international news network
Deutsche Welle in 2005, in which she completed an internship in the foreign language department. In 2006–07, she worked as a production assistant for
Goal! The Bundesliga Magazine, and at the same time was sports news presenter at Deutsche Welle until 2009, where she hosted sports coverage for their English- and German-language services. From there, she moved to
CNN, where she anchored the
World Sports programme daily. She also hosted a feature show at CNN. Scott left CNN to join Sky Sport News HD in Germany where she was head anchor and the face of the network. Scott joined to be a public face for the launch of the network and was also heavily involved in the development of the network's coverage, formats and programming. From Germany, Scott moved to the UK to join
Sky Sports, where she hosted the Pay Per View Boxing events, European Football, Transfer Deadline day and Sky Sports News. Sky Sports loaned Scott to
Fox Sports to host their coverage of the Women's World Cup in 2015, and Scott later took up a permanent offer from the network to relocate to the US and host their Champions League, Europa League, World Cup, FA Cup, and Bundesliga coverage. On three occasions (2010, 2011 and 2013), she acted as presenter for the
UEFA Europa League group stage draw in
Monaco. At Fox, Scott took on the role of hosting Fox's
Premier Boxing Champions, including a regular studio show "Inside PBC Boxing" and fight night coverage. After Fox lost the rights to Champions League to
Turner, Scott also signed a deal to host Champions League coverage on
TNT from Turner's Atlanta studios. Scott is also well known for her role hosting the
FIFA Ballon d'Or and
Laureus World Sports Awards, both of which she hosted on numerous occasions. At the
2014 FIFA Ballon d'Or ceremony she spoke with contestants and guests in four languages. She was also a host for the
2015 FIFA Ballon d'Or. After losing major football rights and the cancellation of ‘’Inside PBC’’, Scott left Fox Sports. In 2022, she briefly returned to Fox to host their nightly
2022 FIFA World Cup show in Qatar. In August 2020, after
CBS Sports took over
UEFA Champions League broadcasting rights in the United States, Scott became the broadcaster's first hire to present
UEFA Champions League Today. The show, anchored by Scott and featuring
Thierry Henry,
Jamie Carragher, and
Micah Richards, achieved widespread critical acclaim. In June 2023, it was announced that she had signed a new, four-year exclusive contract with CBS Sports. ==Personal life==
