ESPN has named its hosts for the World Cup in Brazil which begins in June. Two of the hosts are well-known to ESPN viewers and are familiar from the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. The other is known to UK viewers on BT Sport, the all-sports network that began last year as a competitor to the well-established Sky Sports across the Atlantic.
Bob Ley, Mike Tirico and Lynsey Hipgrave will be studio hosts for ESPN as they helm the pregame, halftime and postgame portion of the games. Ley is very familiar to soccer fans as he has been part of ESPN’s soccer coverage for many years. Tirico was a host on the 2010 World Cup. Hipgrave hosts BT Sport’s coverage of the English Premier League and presented the UEFA Champions League on Al-Jazeera Sports. Hipgrave takes the spot that was Chris Fowler’s in South Africa.
