Ms Barker said: “I cannot believe 2021 marks 24 years since I first joined A Question of Sport and I cannot think of a better way to bring the curtain down on my time on the show
than with a live tour.”
A Question of Sport first aired in January 1970 and more than 1,000 episodes have been broadcast since.
Over 2,000 of the biggest names in British and international sport have appeared as panellists, including boxer Henry Cooper and footballing icon George Best.
Tickets for the live shows go on sale on Friday November 20 at 9am.
Mr Dawson said: “It’s been 10 years since our last tour so it goes without saying that we’re all really looking forward to going out on the road again.
“2020 was A Question of Sport’s 50th anniversary and we were gutted the live tour had to be postponed but we are determined to make up for it in 2021.”

This tour is going to be very special for everyone involved and the perfect way for Matt, Sue and me to pass the baton on to the new Question of Sport team.”
