Where to watch Premier League highlights instead of BBC’s Match of the Day after Gary Lineker’s suspension

Match of the Day is in limbo after the BBC decided to suspend presenter Gary Lineker as a result of a contentious tweet the former Barcelona footballer posted. Several colleagues have decided to step down in solidarity, which has left fans on the hunt for other ways to catch up on the latest Premier League action.

Earlier this week, Gary Lineker took to Twitter to criticise the government’s recently announced Illegal Migration Bill, writing: “This is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the ‘30s, and I’m out of order?”.

On Friday (March 10), BBC bosses decided to pull the 62-year-old from its flagship football highlights programme . Match of the Day pundits Alan Shearer, Ian Wright and Alex Scott, as well as commentators, disagreed with the decision and subsequently decided to boycott the show.

A BBC spokesperson said in a statement: “As commentators on MOTD, we have decided to step down from (Saturday’s) broadcast. We are comforted that football fans who want to watch their teams should still be able to do so, as management can use World Feed commentary if they wish - however, in the circumstances, we do not feel it would be appropriate to take part in the programme.”

Fans are also among those outraged by the broadcaster’s decision to remove Gary Lineker and are on the hunt for other ways to watch all the big goals, moments, VAR decisions and more in the Premier League this weekend. Here is everything you need to know.
