We’re taking you inside the game more than ever before. That means new shows. New formats. New voices. New perspectives. More radio commentaries than we’ve ever had across the leagues. More updates on the club pages on our app and website up and down the pyramid.

We’ll also be showing you the key parts of Premier League games sooner. On Saturday and Sundays there will be highlights on iPlayer, our app and website available at 8pm (weekday matches or late weekend kick-offs are more like half an hour after full-time).

BBC Sport’s flagship football show, Match of the Day, returns with a brand-new presenting trio ready to bring insight, energy and entertainment every week.

Full-time reaction on the BBC Sport app, BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport’s YouTube channel along with TV’s excellent Final Score programme will ensure you’re up to date (including how your fantasy team has done).

Then tactical breakdowns and unpicking of the big talking points that go beyond the obvious will take you closer to the players, the managers and the moments that matter, on the main show later that night. And it’s the same again for Champions League Wednesdays.

We’re bringing in a true legend of the game, Wayne Rooney, to host a brand-new show diving into the football debates that are dominating your algorithm every week.

Wayne will bring his authority, honesty and experience to cut through the noise and give you the game as it really is. You’ll find it on iPlayer, Sounds, the BBC Sport app and website, YouTube and other social channels and it’s going to be funny, punchy and a perfect companion to the week.

You’ll also get fresh new formats like The Football Interview with Kelly Somers – a show that goes past the post-match platitudes and into the personal stories that define the beautiful game. And by the game we don’t just mean the Premier League – we’ll be telling stories from men and women across the world.
