Broadcaster Gary Lineker is to step down as host of flagship football programme Match of the Day at the end of this season, BBC News reports.
It is expected to be announced officially on Tuesday by the BBC.
The Sun, who first reported the story, also said the presenter would leave the BBC after leading coverage of the 2026 World Cup in the US, Canada and Mexico.
The BBC press office declined to comment.
The Premier League season ends in May 2025.
The news comes after Lineker entered negotiations with the BBC over a new contract in October.
Lineker, 63, told Esquire magazine in an interview published earlier this month that he accepted he will “have to slow down at some point.”
