Gabby Logan will host Match of the Day 2025/26

Gabby Logan will present Match of the Day for the 2025/26 Premier League season, stepping in for Gary Lineker, who is leaving the show after 25 years. Logan previously declined to host Match of the Day 2 in 2013 due to family commitments. Logan expressed gratitude for the new opportunity, noting that her family situation has changed since then. She believes she is a better broadcaster now and is excited to take on this role. Lineker announced his departure from Match of the Day in November but will continue to cover the FA Cup and the 2026 World Cup for the BBC. The BBC thanked him for his contributions to the show.
