The 25 October 2026 English Premier League between Manchester United and Bournemouth is one of the most anticipated matches of the 2026-27 season, and it will be covered by a wide range of channels. If you want to listen from anywhere in the world, the BBC feed offers audio commentary through BBC Radio 5 Live, the BBC Sounds app and BBC Sport Online, with Steve Crossman presenting the action.

The BBC feed and its presenters

Steve Crossman has been a familiar voice on the BBC Sport Champions League programme for years, presenting week after week and fronting segments such as "The Monday Night Club." He regularly works alongside a rotating panel of pundits and former players, and has been part of the commentary for the 2026-27 season alongside other familiar names. His role this week ties together the audio commentary, giving viewers a consistent presenter throughout.
