BBC Ends 4-Year Run of Match Of The Day Spin-Off MOTDx

The BBC has confirmed the cancellation of the Match of the Day spin-off show, MOTDx. The show, hosted by Jermaine Jenas, was launched in 2019 to target viewers aged 16-34. It combined football-related content from the flagship MOTD program with culture and music segments.

The Telegraph reports that MOTDx has been quietly axed, following the recent cancellation of the lunchtime soap Doctors. The BBC stated, "We have made some changes to our football output this season which means we will be producing even more digital content for audiences across BBC Sport platforms. While we are proud of MOTDx and would like to thank everyone involved, it will no longer continue."

Although Jermaine Jenas lost his role on MOTDx, there are speculations that he could be a potential replacement for Gary Lineker as the host of Match of the Day. In the past, Lineker has mentioned Jermaine as one of the possible replacements, saying, "The likes of Andy Gray, Danny Murphy who is a brilliant analyst, Jermaine Jenas – who is probably drifting more towards my role. I think Jermaine is doing it really well as well, doing The One Show."

Match Of The Day airs on Saturday nights on BBC One.
