This includes Saturday lunchtime kick-offs for Premier League matches, first choice Saturday 3pm and Sunday 4pm’s plus Monday and Tuesday night matches.

In a year that sees the FA Cup return to BBC Television, Radio 5 live continues its longstanding relationship with the tournament providing comprehensive coverage throughout with news, debate and live commentary.

BBC Radio 5 live sports extra continues to be the go-to station for women’s football with continued live commentaries from the Super League until the end of the current season – full details under the Women’s Football page.

All this combined with live rights to Champions League, Europa League, the League Cup, Home Nations’ Internationals, Scottish Premiership and Championship makes for a packed year of football commentary available for fans.

5 live’s impressive pundit roster is boosted this year by Philip Neville, Jason Roberts and Danny Murphy featuring across the output, joining the team of expert names on the station.

Former England international and ex-Manchester United player and coach Philip Neville will join the 5 live line-up for this season, alongside his TV duties for Match of the Day, featuring on live radio commentary and as a studio guest. Former Premier League striker Jason Roberts takes on an expanded role within the 5 live team, working as a summariser for live football commentary, as well as presenting football shows on 5 live sports extra. Former England international and MOTD pundit Danny Murphy will also feature at points during the year on radio output.

With Mike Ingham retiring at the end of the World Cup John Murray takes on the role of Football Correspondent for the station. John has been a mainstay of the 5 live commentary team for many years and is a natural successor to the role. John continues to lead on commentary alongside Alan Green with Ian Dennis, Conor McNamara and Alistair Bruce-Ball.
