BBC's complete line-up of commentators, pundits and presenters for Netherlands vs Sweden in Group F at the 2026 World Cup
Netherlands were predicted in the build-up to the 2026 tournament to be its eventual victors, by a German economist whose model had correctly predicted the last three world champions.
As Ronald Koeman's men fight to make that their reality, the BBC broadcast will be helmed by Mark Chapman as presenter.
Chapman began his broadcasting career almost 30 years ago, and is known for his work with the BBC, Sky Sports, and on the renowned Match of the Day show, both during and after Gary Lineker's reign.
Thomas Frank, who oversaw a torrid Tottenham Hotspur decline this season, will offer his punditry services for the event.
The Danish manager rose to prominence at Brentford, where he broke various Premier League club records for the Bees.
Frank became just the second manager in Brentford's history to achieve top-flight promotion, back in the 2020/21 season.
He will be joined by ex-Manchester City professional Micah Richards, who often appears as pundit for Sky Sports, the BBC, and CBS.
Ellen White, former Lioness who achieved UEFA European Championship glory, is the third and final pundit for the event.
On commentary duty is Alan Shearer, the Premier League's highest ever goalscorer, and Guy Mowbray as the match's main voice.
Mowbray is the youngest ever commentator to provide his services for a World Cup final, which he did in 1998 aged 26.
