World Cup Over, BBC Sport Prepares for 2026-27 Premier League

Post‑World Cup Content Plan

When the tournament wraps up, BBC Sport pivots quickly back to club football. Pre‑season coverage and transfer rumours take centre stage, while dedicated club reporters hit the road for behind‑the‑scenes tours of all 20 Premier League sides. The aim is to give fans insider views before the new campaign begins.

Selected friendlies will get live pages, paired with in‑depth features and storytelling to keep audiences informed. Standout World Cup performers are already shaping up as hot properties, with top clubs circling for signatures. Senior football correspondent Sami Mokbel leads the charge, breaking major transfer stories on the website and app.

New Digital Features

A daily transfer gossip column aggregates rumours from across the football world, offering a quick roundup for supporters. The World Cup Predictor launches a new weekly game right after the tournament, delivering five fixtures a week to forecast. Meanwhile, existing quizzes remain accessible for fans eager to test their knowledge of the beautiful game.

The BBC Sport app’s new Shorts tab becomes the weekly hub for club‑specific videos. Expect explainers, pundit analysis, interviews and behind‑the‑scenes clips, plus expanded fan reaction to spark debate. Live pages are being enhanced with more interactivity, BBC Radio 5 Live audio commentaries for the Premier League and Champions League, and live video for the FA Cup.

Personalisation Tools

Downloading the BBC Sport app and following favourite teams through My Sport gives quick access to those pages at the top of the Home tab. Starting with the 2026‑27 season, Live Notifications will push score updates directly to a phone’s lock screen. Readers can find more details about these options in the dedicated guide.
