Kelly Cates, Mark Chapman, Gabby Logan named new presenters of MOTD

Kelly Cates, Mark Chapman and Gabby Logan have been named the new presenters of Match of the Day from next season.

The role of lead presenter across Match of the Day, Match of the Day 2, and Match of the Day Champions League, will be shared by the three presenters.

The trio will be at the heart of BBC Sport’s football team that includes Alan Shearer, Micah Richards, Alex Scott, Jason Mohammad, Kelly Somers, John Murray and Steve Crossman.

Alex Kay-Jelski, Director of BBC Sport said: “I know viewers will love these three incredible broadcasters and journalists at the heart of our football coverage next season.

“They’re brilliant at what they do and Match of the Day viewers can be sure they will be well looked after as the big football talking points are expertly analysed.

“Gary has done a phenomenal job at Match of the Day for the last 26 years, he’ll be missed greatly and we all still get to enjoy him on our screens across some of football’s greatest tournaments.

“Outside of Match of the Day we’ve got some great new shows, voices and surprises lined up for the 2025/26 season across audio, video and digital and we look forward to sharing them with you all later in the year. It’s a truly exciting time for BBC Sport’s football coverage.”

Gary Lineker, who is stepping aside from Match of the Day this summer after 26 years, will continue to be a big part of the BBC Sport family, presenting the men’s FA Cup and men’s 2026 World Cup.
