Saturday nights are made for Match of the Day. Despite the omnipresence of football coverage and best bits whacked up on YouTube almost on the stroke of full-time, the BBC's flagship highlights package – presented by Gary Lineker – is a staple of the weekend, going over Saturday's Premier League action.
The show returns again this Saturday night, May 13, at the slightly earlier time of 10pm. In another change, it will also be on BBC Two rather than its usual home of BBC One – due to the Eurovision Song Contest taking centre stage on the Beeb's main channel.
And, for any of you who fall asleep in front of the telly, MOTD is repeated at 7:35am on Sunday on BBC One.
Match of the Day 2 – showing the best bits from Sunday's games – will be broadcast on Sunday night at 10:30pm on BBC Two, too.
This Saturday's MOTD will see a little bit of history made as regular pundit Ian Wright is joined in the studio by son Shaun Wright-Phillips.
Arsenal legend Wright and former England star Shaun – a Premier League winner with Chelsea in 2005/06 – will become the first ever father and son punditry duo to feature on the programme.
The BBC has continuously broadcast MOTD since the early 2000s when they regained the rights from ITV's short-lived The Premiership.
Match of the Day usually uses a selection of BBC and freelance commentators. These include Guy Mowbray, Steve Wilson, Jonathan Pearce, Steve Bower, Simon Brotherton, Conor McNamara, Vicki Sparks, Alistair Mann, Martin Fisher, Mark Scott, John Roder, Chris Wise, Robyn Cowen, Steven Wyeth, and Ben Andrews.
MOTD is available on BBC iPlayer straight after broadcast.
