It’s been confirmed Gary Lineker will leave his presenting role at the BBC after the final episode of Match of the Day on Sunday.

The ex-England footballer who lives in Barnes will no longer cover the 2026 World Cup for the broadcaster.

The 64-year-old has apologised for sharing a recent social media post, and says he would never “consciously repost anything antisemitic”.

BBC boss Tim Davie has thanked Lineker for his contribution to sports journalism.
