📣 Big shake-up at BBC Sport! With the iconic Football Focus bidding farewell, the BBC is rolling out changes to two of its other beloved shows. From next season, get ready for a fresh weekend schedule. ⚽️
First up, The Football Interview is stepping into the Saturday spotlight at 12:45 on BBC One. Hosted by the brilliant Kelly Somers, this programme dives deep into the world of football’s top stars and what makes them tick. Recent episodes have featured household names like Bukayo Saka, Bernardo Silva, and Emma Hayes sharing their stories.
Then, there’s Final Score, which you’ll now catch earlier at 15:45 on BBC One. Jason Mohammad and his team are set to bring you all the thrilling goals, drama, and match breakdowns from around the UK, ensuring fans never miss a beat. Plus, you can stream both shows on BBC iPlayer – perfect for catching up on the go!
Football Focus, a staple since 1974, might be concluding, but BBC Sport is evolving to meet our changing viewing habits. As Alex Kay-Jelski, Director of BBC Sport, put it, these changes reflect how we engage with football today.
While we say goodbye to one favourite, Alex Scott remains central to BBC Sport’s lineup, continuing her remarkable work across major events like the Men’s and Women’s World Cups. And guess what? There’s a new exciting project with her in the pipeline!
Stay tuned, football fans – it’s going to be an epic season! 🎥⚽️ Are you excited for the new BBC Sport lineup? Let us know in the comments!
