BBC football presenters: hosts, pundits, commentators for new Premier League season - Match of the Day lineup

The 2022/23 Premier League season is officially underway, with Manchester City looking to retain the title.

Away from the pitch and in the studio, the BBC will be at the forefront of the action, with Football Focus, Final Score and Match of the Day.

The on-air TV football team will provide build up, analysis and highlights of all the season’s biggest talking points from the title race to the relegation battle - and everything in between.

Here we take a look at all the presenters, pundits and commentators you can expect to hear from during the 31st Premier League season.

Who will host Football Focus during the 2022/23 season?

Alex Scott will continue to host Football Focus in the 2022/23 season.

The former England international, became the first permanent female host of Football Focus at the start of the 2021/22 season, replacing Dan Walker after 12 years at the helm.

Since her retirement from football in 2018, Scott has enjoyed an incredibly successful career in the media, becoming the first female pundit at the World Cup in 2018 and in the same year becoming the first female pundit on Sky Sports.

She has also co-hosted The One Show and Sports Relief.

Who will be the pundits on Football Focus during the 2022/23 season?

We can expect to see some familiar faces in the Football Focus studio with the likes of Jermaine Jenas, Dion Dublin, Martin Keown and Michah Richards all expected to feature on the show during the course of the campaign.

One person who won’t be joining them this season is Mark Lawrenson - a staple of Football Focus in years gone by - who has confirmed he will not be returning as a pundit this campaign.

The former Liverpool and Preston North End footballer has been a member of the punditry team on Football Focus since 1997. However, he announced at the end of the 2021/22 season that he planned to retire from the show.

Who will host Final Score during the 2022/23 season?

Jason Mohammad will be the host of Final Score this season.

Mohammed replaced Gabby Logan in 2013 and has been a regular fixture on Saturday afternoons since then.
