"I know viewers will love these three incredible broadcasters and journalists at the heart of our football coverage next season," BBC Sport director Alex Kay-Jelski said in a statement. "They’re brilliant at what they do and MOTD viewers can be sure they will be well looked after as the big football talking points are expertly analysed."
"Gary has done a phenomenal job at Match of the Day for the last 25 years, he'll be missed greatly and we all still get to enjoy him on our screens across some of football's greatest tournaments," said Kay-Jelski, highlighting the impact of Lineker's long tenure.
Outside of Match of the Day we've got some great new shows, voices and surprises lined up for the 2025-26 season across audio, video and digital and we look forward to sharing them with you all later in the year," signaling an exciting future for BBC Sport.
Chapman, Cates and Logan will also split duties presenting Sunday's Match of the Day 2 programme as well as the midweek Champions League highlights show, showcasing their roles extending beyond the flagship programme.
