Advertisements

There will be live commentary on every World Cup game (except for the clashing final group games, when one of the two matches being played simultaneously will be broadcast live in full, with updates from the other) on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds.

And there will be podcasts galore.

The BBC will have a Football Daily podcast every day of the World Cup, released at 06:00 BST, while from then until 09:00, Rick Edwards will be live in Los Angeles for 5 Live Breakfast.

There will be two episodes of The Wayne Rooney Show every week – and a 606 every week too.

BBC Radio Scotland will will have a daily podcast every morning – plus YouTube live shows throughout the group stages – and extended programming on the radio on game days.

Special editions of The Saturday Show from Boston, Off the Ball and Breaking the News are on the agenda.

There are also offerings on BBC Radio nan Gàidheal and BBC ALBA’s YouTube page.

And Sunday League manager Steve Bracknall has six World Cup specials of Game’s Gone: The Steve Bracknall Podcast, plus reaction to home nations games.

To find a home nations commentary, you can say to your smart speaker ‘ask BBC Sounds to play the England or Scotland match’ or request it to play the radio station you want.

And BBC World Service will have a Global World Cup podcast three times a week. The Sport Today (Monday to Friday) and Sportsworld (Saturday and Sunday) shows will be broadcast to more than 66 million listeners worldwide on location from host cities.
