When is Match of the Day on? Watch MOTD on BBC TV and iPlayer
Your complete guide to upcoming editions of Match of the Day to soak up all the Premier League highlights.
Match of the Day is back. The 2025/26 Premier League season is here and normality is restored – almost.
There is one key change to your Saturday night routine: Gary Lineker will not host the iconic highlights show on 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, starting with Chapman last Saturday.
Match of the Day 2 has been rebranded to simply Match of the Day but will remain on Sunday evenings. Logan took charge of the first Sunday episode.
All 20 teams are in action again on the second weekend of the season – with Man City v Tottenham and West Ham v Chelsea among the pick of the games.
