Gary Lineker just can’t stay away from Match of the Day! Despite stepping down from his iconic role as the presenter, he was right there on his sofa for the new season’s kick-off. The legendary Lineker couldn’t resist commenting, “Can’t miss Match of the Day,” with a cheeky hands-up emoji.

Mark Chapman, Kelly Cates, and Gabby Logan are taking the reins as the fresh faces of the show, but it was Chapman who kicked things off with a light-hearted joke to welcome football fans back. The return of the Premier League promises a season full of excitement and legendary moments, and it looks like Lineker is going to be glued to the screen just like the rest of us.


Even earlier in the day, Lineker was all set for action, watching Aston Villa take on Newcastle United from home. But don’t worry, he won’t be off our screens for too long! Gary’s ready to dive into his new ITV adventure, The Box, and he’s buzzing about it. He mentioned how he’s looking forward to the unpredictable and thrilling nature of the show. Can’t wait to see him back in action!
