TNT Sports' Reshmin Chowdhury is under consideration to replace Gary Lineker as the host of Match of the Day, according to reports. The BBC also confirmed that Lineker would leave the broadcaster for good in 2026, after the World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada. Gary Lineker is set to leave Match of the Day at the end of the season before departing the BBC permanently in 2026 PA According to the Daily Mail, however, Chowdhury is in the mix to replace Lineker as well. That remains Chapman, who has fronted the BBC's coverage of Match of the Day 2 ever since the departure of Colin Murray in 2013. Last week, reports swirled suggesting that Match of the Day could use various presenters next season - in what would represent a major break from tradition.
