List of British football commentators

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.

This is a list of media commentators and writers in the United Kingdom on the sport of Association football.

A number of football players have had a second career as writers or commentators. However, many commentators never played the game at a professional level such as Dale Rowlinson and Gaz Mallachan, yet they have gone on to become famous names associated with the game.
