Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League presenters on TNT Sports: Meet the pundits and commentators
Here's everything you need to know about the voices and faces guiding you through the Premier League and Champions League on TNT Sports.
TNT Sports and discovery+ are more than just the home of European football in 2025/26.
The broadcaster has boasted the rights to UEFA's three continental competitions – the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League – for some time now, but has domestic football on offer for fans as well.
It has locked down the Saturday lunchtime kick-off in the Premier League while it has coverage of the men's and women's FA Cup as well this term. Truly a bumper offering of football.
Rio Ferdinand has gone but TNT Sports has recruited some new faces to join the regular fixtures in its presenting and punditry team for the 2025/26 campaign.
There will be some special guests throughout the season while, as always, this list is subject to changes from week to week.
RadioTimes.com brings you everything you need to know about the TNT Sports presenters, pundits, and commentators for 2025/26.

TNT Sports pundits in 2025/26
Ally McCoist
A true fan favourite, McCoist is surely TNT Sports' most prized punditry possession. There simply isn't a game that his insight would not make better.
A lethal striker for Rangers and Scotland in his day, the 62-year-old went into management after his playing career but is now a familiar face in football coverage.
Peter Crouch
Crouch has made a seamless transition from professional footballer to much-loved media personality.
The towering former England forward scored goals for the likes of Portsmouth, Liverpool and Stoke – regularly showcasing his famed robot celebration – and is now known for his sunny approach to punditry.

Cole returns as part of TNT Sports coverage of both European and domestic football in 2025/26.
The ex-England winger made his name at West Ham before having success at Chelsea under Jose Mourinho and others.

Carney was a fresh addition for the 2024/25 campaign and is expected to be back this season.
Alongside a successful club career at Birmingham City, Arsenal and Chelsea, she made nearly 150 England appearances before retiring in 2020.
Paul Scholes
One of the Premier League's greatest ever midfielders, Scholes won everything at Man Utd during a long-running playing career.
He's been part of the TNT Sports team for some time and isn't afraid of making his thoughts felt – particularly when the Red Devils struggle.
Joleon Lescott
Lescott made more than 500 club appearances and nearly 30 for England in a career that lasted almost two decades.
Since hanging up his boots in 2017, he's been a familiar face on our screens – particularly on TNT Sports' Premier League and Champions League coverage.
