BBC Radio Shropshire Presents Live Commentary of British Football on 15 September 2025
On 15 September 2025 at 18:00 UK time, football fans in Shropshire and beyond can tune into BBC Radio Shropshire and the BBC Sounds app to catch comprehensive coverage of British football through the programme BBC Shropshire Sport. The broadcast is expertly presented by Mary-Kate Wheeldon alongside insightful punditry from former professional footballers Jamie Tolley and Jon Adams. This combination promises an engaging and informed listening experience for supporters eager to keep up with the latest action.
