When is Match of the Day on? Watch MOTD on TV and BBC iPlayer

The Premier League season is into its final throes and there is no better way to keep up with the rollercoaster ride than Match of the Day.

It's FA Cup final weekend, which means no Premier League games on Saturday and a bumper episode of MOTD on Sunday instead.

There are some big games in the race for Europe, including Brentford v Crystal Palace and Everton v Sunderland, while Arsenal v Burnley won't be on the show as it takes place on Monday night.

2025/26 has brought one key change to your Saturday night routine: Gary Lineker is no longer the host of the iconic highlights show on the BBC. It was first announced back in November that the 2024/25 campaign would be his last in the role, but he made an early exit due to controversy surrounding a social media post shared by Lineker.

Gabby Logan, Kelly Cates and Mark Chapman have taken the reins on a rotational basis while Match of the Day 2 has been rebranded to simply Match of the Day but will remain on Sunday evenings.

Radio Times brings you everything you need to know about when you can get your weekly football fix through Match of the Day.
