FC Dave will follow the misfortunes of the FC Dave five-a-side football team and is filmed in a mockumentary style.
Baddiel has joined the cast as Dave channel head Steve North.
Meanwhile, a competition will search for a real five-a-side football team who will win the name FC Dave and sponsorship from the channel.
UKTV's Giles Pooley, who is executive producing the show, said: "FC Dave is a truly exciting multiplatform project from Dave. The mockumentary series illustrates the passion and love for five-a-side football players in a witty way and we are delighted that the idea captured the imagination of five-a-side fan David Baddiel."
The series will receive its online premiere on June 3 and will appear on the Dave website, Facebook, Twitter, iTunes and YouTube.
