History

For the 2016–17 season BT Sport acquired rights to the Saturday evening Premier League matches and BT Sport decided to launch a new Saturday afternoon schedule and as part of this new line-up BT Sport decided to launch a football scores service.[1] The programme was launched on 13 August 2016. Prior to the 2016–17 season BT Sport had showed live rugby union coverage in this slot: this coverage is now broadcast on BT Sport 2.

The programme begins on BT Sport 1 after the final whistle of the live lunchtime game has been shown. Most weeks, Mark Pougatch presents with Jules Breach providing EFL and social media updates. Occasionally, Breach presents alongside Jeff Brazier, on weeks where Mark is not present such as the Rugby World Cup.

After 15–20 minutes of build up, the 3pm kickoffs are watched on monitors in the BT Sport studio by a variety of pundits each week. Occasionally, a pundit will cover a Bundesliga or La Liga match from the studio. Peter Walton, among others, provides referee analysis on the key decisions around the grounds. Elsewhere, there are usually around two reporters at Scottish Premiership matches, and at least one at a Vanarama National League match. During FA Cup weekends, BT send out reporters to every game from the third round onwards and will have pundits watching from the studio - FA Trophy matches are also occasionally covered by a reporter as well on select weekends.
