Naturally, there will be more popular pundits than others, but both broadcasting giants have gone with big names across the board as they look to provide the best coverage of the football this summer with those who have plenty of first-hand experience in the game.

Gary Lineker will be expected to lead hosting duties for the BBC, and as seen in the tweet below, Frank Lampard, Rio Ferdinand, Alan Shearer, Alex Scott and Danny Murphy are just some of the names who will be appearing on our screens on that side of the battle for ratings.

As for ITV, they’ve landed arguably the biggest addition with Gary Neville joining the team, as he prepares to join Roy Keane, Ian Wright, Lee Dixon, Ryan Giggs and many more.
