Gary Lineker will not be presenting BBC Match of the Day until further notice until an agreement is reached on his social media use, which has been accused of breaching BBC impartiality guidelines.

Following Gary Lineker's removal from the programme, Ian Wright and Alan Shearer will no longer appear as a move of solidarity


No presenter or pundits appeared due to nobody making themselves available following the decision to remove Gary Lineker as host. The programme had no studio.


The programme aired without commentators and interviews as all six scheduled commentators also stood down in solidarity, and the PFA and clubs refused to do interviews with the BBC.

The show's iconic theme tune and title sequence also did not feature in a show that was only 20 minutes long.
