Match of the Day (abbreviated to MOTD) is a football highlights programme, typically broadcast on BBC One on Saturday nights, during the Premier League season.[5][1] The show's current presenter is former England international striker Gary Lineker, with regular analysis from fellow former players Alan Shearer and Ian Wright, and occasional relief analysts such as Micah Richards, Danny Murphy, Jermaine Jenas, Martin Keown, and Dion Dublin.

Match of the Day is one of the BBC's longest-running shows, having been on air since 22 August 1964.[6] In 2015, Guinness World Records recognised it "as the longest-running football television programme in the world."[7] The show's theme tune was voted the most recognised television theme in a 2010 poll conducted by the PRS.[6] From the 2004–05 season, a second programme, Match of the Day 2, usually airs on the following Sunday and features highlights of all the day's games, whilst showing the goals from the previous days’ action.[8]
