Get ready to kick back and reminisce because the National Football Museum in Manchester is rolling out a brand-new exhibition to celebrate a whopping 60 years of the beloved Match of the Day. From April 4 to July 27, 2025, this immersive experience will take a playful look at the show that's been a staple for football fans. You'll get the lowdown on how it all started in the swinging sixties, complete with some classic black-and-white footage, and uncover why this programme has stolen the hearts of millions.

You can also expect a deep dive into the legends who've graced the presenter's chair over the years, as well as some juicy behind-the-scenes gossip on how they manage to make magic happen every week. Think of it as a time machine that whisks you through the evolution of football, from the ancient art of slow motion to those sometimes confusing VAR moments. As Match of the Day is about to shift gears with new presenters on the roster, including Kelly Cates and Gabby Logan making history along the way, the exhibition promises to be a timely nod to the past, present, and future of the show. So whether you're a die-hard fan or just someone who likes a good laugh over a balmy match day, this exhibition has a little something for everyone.
