Gary Lineker is expected to step down from his role at the BBC this week, following controversy surrounding his promotion of online content with alleged antisemitic implications. According to sources, the veteran broadcaster is likely to make a formal announcement on Monday regarding his departure.
Lineker, who has been the face of BBC’s Match of the Day for over two decades, is anticipated to present his final episode of the program this Sunday. Additionally, he is not expected to be involved in the BBC’s coverage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup or next season’s FA Cup.
The decision to part ways is reportedly a mutual agreement between Lineker and the BBC, marking the end of a significant chapter in both the presenter’s career and the network’s football broadcasting history.
