How will the new Match of the Day work?
The new campaign represents a bold new era for BBC Sport's flagship football show when it returns to screens live on BBC One and iPlayer on Saturday from 22:20 BST, with Sunday's show starting at 22:30 BST.
Who are the new presenters?
Match of the Day will be presented by Kelly Cates, Mark Chapman and Gabby Logan.
The lead presenter role will be shared for the first time across Match of the Day and Match of the Day: Champions League - the latest addition to the BBC's football highlights portfolio.
Cates has had a 27-year career in football with stints on all major broadcasters, including the BBC on Radio 5 Live. She previously hosted 606 with Ian Wright on Sundays. Cates, whose dad is former Liverpool and Scotland legend Sir Kenny Dalglish, has been presenting Premier League football for Sky Sports since 2017 and will continue to work for them.
Chapman has been hosting MOTD2 for 12 years and also presents a range of sports programming on BBC Radio 5 Live, including the Monday Night Club and 606. He has hosted various sporting events for both BBC TV and radio. Chapman also presented Sky Sports' coverage of the Carabao Cup.
Logan first joined the BBC in 2007 and has presented many sporting events, including men's and women's World Cups and European Championships, the Six Nations and Olympics. Since 2013, Logan has co-hosted BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
The trio are the sixth set of main presenters for the weekly football highlights programme since it first aired in 1964.
There have also been changes to the show too, with new augmented reality graphics in the studio and an updated title sequence.
Who will present the first show and how will they rotate?
The new presenters will rotate throughout the season, sharing equal billing on Saturday and Sunday's shows, and Match of the Day: Champions League on Wednesday.
Their schedule may change throughout the season, with Logan presenting BBC Sport's coverage of the Rugby World Cup this autumn, as an example.
The first show of the season will be hosted by Chapman with insight and analysis from Wayne Rooney and Alan Shearer in the studio.
Logan will lead Sunday's highlights show with guests Joe Hart and Danny Murphy.
Who are the pundits?
As well as Rooney, Shearer, Hart and Murphy, fan favourites and returning stars include Micah Richards, Ashley Williams, Dion Dublin and Martin Keown. Ellen White, Nedum Onuoha, Steph Houghton, Theo Walcott, Shay Given and Stephen Warnock will also be on hand to impart their knowledge, energy and experience.
Who decides the running order?
The running order is decided by considering various factors: the number of goals, the importance of the result in the title race or relegation battle, any particularly controversial decisions, and the overall quality of the game.
The MOTD programme editor has the final call on the running order the programme will follow, but they will take into account where we're at in the season.
Early in the season, there is no particular urgency to reflect on the standings. So high-scoring games will generally become top picks to start the programme.
Goalless draws will not normally sit at the top of the programme, but towards the end of the season that result could be more significant if it feeds into a story around the title race.
How can I watch Premier League highlights from 8pm on BBC Sport?
The BBC Sport website will feature highlights of every Premier League match during the 2025-26 season.
These will be available on the BBC Sport app, website and iPlayer on Saturdays and Sundays - ordinarily from 8pm.
If there is an evening match, highlights from all matches that day will be available 30 minutes after the final game of the day finishes.

What other football will there on the BBC?
Champions League highlights will continue to be available on BBC Sport from 10pm on a Wednesday.
BBC Sport will continue to broadcast action from every stage of the FA Cup, as well as providing highlights and digital clips across the BBC Sport website, app and social media.
There will be also digital highlights for every Women's Super League match on the Women's Football Show, as well as 21 live matches on the BBC.
Alex Scott continues to present Football Focus, and you can get all the scores and reaction on Final Score with Jason Mohammad throughout the campaign.
BBC Radio 5 Live will have commentaries from 209 Premier League games this season - more than any other UK broadcaster.
In Scotland and Northern Ireland there is extensive live coverage of the Scottish Premiership and NIFL Premiership across the season.
BBC Sport has also launched a new football podcast - The Wayne Rooney Show - available to watch or listen to on BBC Sounds, YouTube, BBC iPlayer, and the BBC Sport website.

Tchatchoua turns his back on Everton
A firm no that shows, at 23, Jackson Tchatchoua already knows how to chart his own path. Tchatchoua turns his back on Everton Jackson Tchatchoua has made his choice. The 23-year-old Cameroonian right-back, a key player for Hellas Verona, has turned down Everton. It's a bold decision that comes as a surprise, given the English club offered him a great opportunity. But Tchatchoua wants something different. According to CaughtOffside, he prefers Wolverhampton, where a deal is already in place. The transfer is valued at £10 million. Only the contract length remains to be finalized. Everton had hoped to lure him to the Premier League. Nottingham Forest, Milan, and Besiktas were also in the running. But the player opted for the stability of a clear project with Wolves. At Verona, he proved his full potential: 36 Serie A matches, two goals, three assists. Most importantly, his consistency has earned the trust of scouts. A 10-cap Cameroonian international, Tchatchoua is now looking to take the next step.

Liverpool show GIANT wonderkid that he's destined for greatness
Liverpool wasted no time in showing their giant new wonderkid why he's destined for greatness. They've got a special one here. Liverpool completed the signing of Giovanni Leoni on Friday ahead of their 4-2 win over Bournemouth. The Italian joins for around £26m from Parma as the Reds tie down one of the hottest prospects in Europe. There aren't many 18-year-old centre-backs playing regularly in a top European league, after all. Leoni managed just that last season, however, as he forced his way into Parma's starting XI. Shop the LFC Store 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the away range TODAY LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! 🔴 He's an elite talent - one who will immediately jump into Liverpool's first-team squad and, if he holds his own, eventually pickup homegrown status. A fantastic deal all around, honestly. But not all wonderkids are the same. If you want to actually play a top young talent and develop him correctly, you need to be able to use him - and he's got to be able to excel. Leoni was at the Anfield clash on Friday to watch his new team play. And it should have removed any and all doubts that Liverpool is the place for him. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas away range Giovanni Leoni is destined for greatness Leoni is, on paper, perfect for Liverpool. If only because of his physical attributes. The teenager stands 6ft 5 tall and boasts the physicality that comes with it. It's why he's able to win 63 per cent of his aerial duels against far more senior players and why he's been described internally as 'an absolute joke'. And that's a trait Liverpool are after. They want that kind of physicality at the back - players capable of battling one vs one in duels, capable of bossing attackers in isolation. It's been a hallmark of Virgil van Dijk's play at Liverpool and Leoni does view him as an idol. He'll have been impressed against Bournemouth, then, as the Dutchman made a ridiculous 17 clearances, 13 of which came in the air. That's a record for Van Dijk with both numbers. And this is what Liverpool want Leoni to become. The Van Dijk successor, basically. Someone who can defend against counter-attacks on his own and fight for the ball in duels, removing outlets for teams and not allowing them to get footholds high up the pitch. Leoni is destined to deliver that at a high level - he can already do it at 18. Liverpool is the right place for him, then. The Italian fits the bill for what the Reds want in a defender and that means he should fulfil his potential at Anfield, or at least have the best possible chance of doing so. And what incredible potential it is.

Ben Jacobs reveals how much Chelsea will make after Nottingham Forest complete £37.5m transfer
Chelsea will make around £3.75m after Omari Hutchinson completed his move to Nottingham Forest according to journalist Ben Jacobs.

He took to and said: 'Chelsea will make approximately £3.75m from Omari Hutchinson's move to Nottingham Forest due to a 25% sell-on.' Considering Hutchinson arrived on a free, and was sold for £20m, it's not bad business at all, and the Sporting directors deserve credit. It was reported earlier this week they had signed contract extensions keeping them at Stamford Bridge for the next six years, and there appears to be some level of stability both on and off the pitch.
