Football fans, get ready for a shake-up! The BBC introduces a thrilling change to how you catch Premier League highlights this season. Now, you can stream all the must-see moments on BBC iPlayer, the Sport website, and the app from 8pm on Saturdays—hours before Match of the Day hits the TV screens.
As the new season kicks off, Mark Chapman will lead the first episode of Match of the Day, taking the helm from Gary Lineker. He’ll be joined by rotating hosts Kelly Cates and Gabby Logan throughout the year. Although you can catch earlier highlights online, don’t miss the in-depth analysis and expert discussions that make Match of the Day a staple for footie lovers.
BBC aims to keep its coverage fresh while holding onto the beloved show’s tradition of top-notch punditry. Familiar faces like Alan Shearer and Micah Richards are back, with Wayne Rooney joining the team to add his insights. Despite changes in viewing habits, MOTD still draws in a crowd of 3.5 million viewers in recent seasons.
