The future is now.
The BBC have announced they will broadcast the first ever Match of the Day show live on Facebook this Saturday.
The live stream won’t be a full episode of MOTD, but a new pre-show to the flagship highlights programme to their 3million Facebook followers.
Gary Lineker will present this new format which marks the first time a British broadcaster has worked with Mark Zuckerberg’s new Facebook Mentions platform.
It will reveal the running order of the games in the main MOTD and give Facebookers a behind-the-scenes look at goings-on with Gary and the gang.
The BBC expects the stream to go live after the late kick-off between Arsenal and Everton finishes.
Surely it can only be a matter of time before we can see the Premier League highlights on Match of the Day without even leaving Facebook?
