Match Of The Day: What time is it on tonight- who is hosting? BBC football show returns with Premier League highlights
Match Of The Day is back on our screens, bringing football fans results and analysis of the biggest matches in the country.
The BBC’s flagship sports programme returned to schedules last week, coinciding with the opening fixtures of the 2025/26 Premier League season. It was all change for the show, as new hosts Mark Chapman, Gabby Logan and Kelly Cates kicked off their tenure as presenters.
The trio were announced as replacements for Gary Lineker, following his departure from the show. Lineker, who hosted the show for 26 years, had previously announced his intention to step down as host ended up but severing his relationship with the BBC earlier than planned following a row over social media posts that were seen to be anti-semitic. Lineker has since apologised for the incident.
In an attempt to move on from the controversy, Match Of The Day returned with its new line up for the 2025/26 season, with Mark Chapman and Gabby Logan ushering in the new era during last week’s episodes.
