MATCH of the Day will be part of our Saturday nights until at least 2019.
The BBC has renewed its deal to show Premier League highlights for a further three years, despite previous speculation that ITV might be in the running.
The deal, which runs until the end of the 2018-19 season, also covers the Sunday morning repeat show, MOTD2 on Sunday night's, Football Focus and a new midweek show on Wednesday nights on BBC Two.
BBC Director General Tony Hall said: "Sport matters. It brings the nation together. It can break hearts and raise spirits. And because it matters to the public, it also matters to the BBC.
"That's why it's fantastic news that we have kept the Premier League highlights."
