Emma Saunders
A leading football presenter, Emma Saunders can regularly be found fronting coverage of the Premier League, EFL and WSL on some of the country’s biggest networks. Primarily working for both Sky Sports and BBC Sport, Emma is a trailblazer when it comes to women’s representation in sports broadcasting and her career is sure to inspire people everywhere.
Alongside her television and radio work, she’s also worked as a stadium presenter for major sporting events including England internationals, the World Cup, Six Nations Rugby matches, the first-ever MLB game in the UK and the inaugural Hundred cricket event.
Emma’s experience as a presenter makes her the ideal choice of event host for any kind of event. Her warm, personable and relaxed style always makes her a hit with audiences, and she can seamlessly ensure every event remains on track.
Emma’s love for broadcasting began in student radio when she was studying at the University of Southampton. From here, she joined the BBC’s sports reporting scheme with a placement in London. She then embarked on a postgraduate course before joining Watford FC presenting the club’s in-house TV channel.
As well as this, she made history as the first ever female stadium announcer at a Premier League club. At all of her events, Emma is happy to answer questions on breaking down boundaries and establishing herself in such a male dominated industry.
In recent years, her career has seen her be a regular feature on both Sky Sports and BBC Sport, presenting and featuring on some of their most popular sporting programmes. This includes Soccer Saturday and live broadcasts of matches. On the radio, she frequently anchors shows on 5Live Sport and hosts the show’s football daily podcast.
At the 2020 European Championships, Emma was permanently based in the England camp as a reporter, regularly interviewing players as the team made history by reaching the final for the first time ever. One particular interview saw midfielder Declan Rice give a rendition of Sweet Caroline. The soundtrack of England’s summer, the clip went viral thanks to Emma’s exceptional interviewing skills.
In recent years she’s also hosted coverage of Wimbledon, the Champions League final, the London Marathon and more. And in terms of live events, she’s conducted corporate events at Lords, Twickenham and Wembley. She also presented Emma Radacanu’s homecoming event after the tennis star’s historic US Open victory.
