Gary Lineker has confirmed he will leave the BBC after presenting his final episode of Match of the Day on Sunday.

Gary Lineker, a former England soccer captain who became the face of the sport on British TV, will leave the BBC after apologising for sharing a social media post about Zionism that drew complaints over antisemitism.

This isn’t Lineker’s first controversy. In 2023, the BBC said it had had a ‘frank conversation'” with the star after he criticized the government’s asylum policy, comparing the language to “not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s.”
