Gabby Logan, Kelly Cates and Mark Chapman will host Match Of The Day after Gary Lineker leaves at the end of the season.
The confirmation follows speculation about the presenting line-up of the BBC’s flagship football show after news last year that Lineker would step back from the role.
The role will be shared between the three presenters for the first time, with the trio splitting duties on Saturday’s main show, Match Of The Day 2 on Sundays and the latest addition to the football highlights schedule – Match Of The Day: Champions League – on Wednesdays.
Logan said: “It’s always a real moment (sitting in the chair) because it has such history. It’s still so relevant to so many people now and talked about in a landscape where TV’s changed so much.
Cates, who will also continue her role with Sky Sports, said: “Once I sit in that chair and the theme music starts, I just know that’s going to be a really incredible moment. I’ve worked with a lot of the pundits before and they’re all fantastic, so I’m just looking forward to getting started.
“I’ve known Gabby and Mark really well for years so to bring it all together, embracing the digital side of things, it feels like a really comprehensive football package for fans and that’s what makes it so exciting too.”
She has been a presenter with Sky Sports since rejoining them in 2016, fronting their coverage of the Premier League.
Former gymnast Logan, 51, became one of the first female sports anchors to break into terrestrial television and has covered several Olympic Games, the World Cup and the Commonwealth Games during her tenure at the BBC.
She has presented Match Of The Day in Lineker’s absence on many occasions, while she also fronted the BBC’s coverage as the Lionesses stormed to glory in the Women’s Euros in 2023.
Meanwhile, Chapman, 51, has been broadcasting for more than 25 years and presents BBC’s Match Of The Day 2 covering the action and reaction from the Premier League.
On sharing the role with Cates and Logan, Chapman said: “This isn’t about the three of us, it’s about the three of us plus our pundits, plus our editors, plus our analysts and stats people and production people, radio and online. Genuinely this is about all of us as a department working together.”
Logan and Chapman also host a Global Player podcast together, titled The Sports Agents.
The trio are the sixth set of main presenters for the weekly football highlights programme, which first aired in 1964.
They will be joined by a host of football pundits and presenters, including former England players Alan Shearer, Micah Richards and Alex Scott as well as Jason Mohammad, Kelly Somers, John Murray and Steve Crossman.
Director of BBC Sport Alex Kay-Jelski said: “I know viewers will love these three incredible broadcasters and journalists at the heart of our football coverage next season.
“They’re brilliant at what they do and Match Of The Day viewers can be sure they will be well looked after as the big football talking points are expertly analysed.”
He praised Lineker for doing a “phenomenal job” as host of the BBC’s flagship football show for the last 26 years and said he would be “missed greatly”.
Lineker has topped the list of the BBC’s highest-paid on-air talent list for seven consecutive years.
According to the BBC’s annual report published in July, Lineker earned £1.35 million in the year 2023/24 and the same amount in 2022/23.
