White Wine Question Time

Kelly Cates on football, family, and forging her own path


Listen Later

Joining us today is one of the most respected and knowledgeable broadcasters in football, a woman who has been a standout voice in the game for nearly three decades. It's the wonderful Kelly Cates!


In this episode, she takes us through her remarkable career journey — reflecting on her early days at Sky Sports, the lessons she learned from stepping away from the industry in her 30s, and why returning to top-flight football coverage in her 40s felt like the right move. She also shares her excitement — and nerves! — about taking on her biggest role yet as part of the new Match of the Day presenting team, what it means to her, and how she’s preparing for the challenge. Beyond the pitch, she also dives into family life and opens up about juggling a high-profile career with single motherhood and the realities of raising teenage daughters. Gosh, she's busy!


Hear more from Kelly on her podcast Not Just Football, available wherever you get your podcasts, and don’t miss her debut on Match of the Day next season alongside Gabby Logan and Mark Chapman.
