Kelly Cates set to replace Gary Lineker as Match of the Day host with two other presenters

The 49-year-old will leave Sky at the end of the season.

Cates will join a three-person Match of the Day presenting team, sharing hosting duties with Gabby Logan and Mark Chapman.

Chapman currently fronts Match of the Day 2 and Logan also has a wealth of sports broadcasting experience working for both the BBC and ITV.

Gary Lineker confirmed last month that he would be leaving Match of the Day in 2025, after 26 years in the role.

Despite his departure from the BBC's flagship football highlights show, Lineker will continue to lead the BBC's coverage of the FA Cup next season and will also anchor their coverage of the 2026 World Cup.

Cates - who is the daughter of Liverpool legend Sir Kenny Dalglish - will take over from the former England and Spurs striker at the end of the current season.
