The Premier League Show will feature in-depth interviews with players, broadcast from the National Football Museum in Manchester.

Gary Lineker will meet Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp for the first programme, which will be aired on Thursday, 25 August at 22:00 BST.

Lineker will also return as host of Match of the Day.

In December, Lineker tweeted that he would present the first programme of the new season in his underwear if his home-town club Leicester City won the Premier League. Claudio Ranieri's men were crowned champions on 2 May.

Viewers will have to wait until Saturday though to see if the former England striker keeps his promise.

BBC coverage will also include:

• The FA Cup is back for another season with 16 live matches and highlights of every round across all platforms.

• BBC Radio 5 live has more commentaries than any other British broadcaster, with 144 Premier League games.

• Jermaine Jenas and Jason Mohammad will be in new presenting roles on 5 live, including Jenas presenting The Friday Football Social alongside Darren Fletcher.

• Personalised service via the BBC Sport website and app and exclusive behind-the-scenes access via social media accounts.

New lead executive for BBC football, Steve Rudge, said: "As excitement builds towards the new football season, we are delighted to announce our extensive offering which now includes the new midweek magazine programme.

"Last season, 64% of fans followed the Premier League on the BBC only, highlighting our ability to unite the nation via our dedicated football service.

"This season will see the BBC deliver an unrivalled multiplatform offering which allows audiences to have the latest news and insight 24/7, wherever and whenever they wish."
