The show has been running since 1964, with Lineker stepping into the role of presenter back in 1999 – and stepping away 25 years later.
The 64-year-old was originally scheduled to stay on as presenter for the FA Cup, and the 2026 World Cup, but recent controversy has meant he will step away altogether.
However, controversy on not, Lineker had made the decision to step away from Match of the Day presenting in January 2025, with three new faces already confirmed.
SunSport can share who will present Match of the Day from the 2025/26 season.
Who will be the new Match of the Day presenters?

Gary Lineker confirmed he would leave the show in January, but at the time said he would continue for the FA Cup and the World Cup in 2026.
