BT Sport will be looking for a new commentator for their Scottish coverage:
After much deliberation, I have decided that this will be my final season based in the U.K. with BT Sport. 1/13

Broadcaster logos on hot air balloons, anyone?
Also: UEL and UCL finals will be available in 360° VR on BT Sport's YouTube channel.
We know the two finalists, now we just need to get the Champions League trophy to Cardiff…🏆

Also, the YouTube stream for the UCL final will be in UHD from the BT Sport 4K channel (without the Dolby Atmos used on the broadcast version though because YouTube can't take that at the moment).

As confirmed by one of the pundits:
At its peak, EFS was a 12-hour beast, starting sometimes before noon with a couple of games presented by Lyndsey Hipgrave, followed by James Richardson taking over for the hour's review and the match of the night - whereas this season it's been rare to have a studio wraparound on any European match. I believe there is one this Sunday evening though.
Can I use this as an excuse to post this?

According to Twitter, the European Football Show that goes out on a Sunday night won't be returning next season.
As confirmed by one of the pundits:
it is unfortunately. We’ve 3 shows left though until the end of the season & had a great run

One of the best punditry line up on TV, a pity to see it go (although presumably they will stay on for the Champions League goals show?)
As noted above this season they seemed to change the format so that it was only a pre-game show at Sunday teatime instead of actually covering the game of the night.
