TNT Sports have announced that Gareth Bale and Michail Antonio will join their punditry team for the 2025-26 season, following the departure of Rio Ferdinand. The broadcaster will show over 700 live matches across domestic and European football.
Bale, the former Tottenham and Real Madrid star, has already featured on TNT's coverage of the Europa League final. Antonio, who left West Ham United and has not officially retired, provided punditry for Crystal Palace's Community Shield victory.
They will join a line-up including Ally McCoist, Owen Hargreaves, Joe Cole and Peter Crouch. Ferdinand left after 10 years, citing a desire to focus on family and business interests.
