Hosts announced for BBC football staple

- TOM BRYANT

THE BBC has announced a hat-trick of new presenters for Match of the Day to take over when Gary Lineker leaves at the end of the season.

Gabby Logan, Kelly Cates and Mark Chapman were confirmed following speculation over the new line-up after 64-year-old Gary announced last year that he would step back from the role.

The former England striker, who has presented the show since 1999, will continue to front next year's BBC's FA Cup coverage and the 2026 men's World Cup.

The role will be shared between the three presenters for the first time, with the trio splitting duties on Saturday's main show, Match of the Day 2 on Sundays and the Champions League highlights on Wednesdays.
