The Times has revealed the 68-year-old has voluntarily stepped away from the role, rather than being removed by the channel.
“It has been a fantastic time but I now want to concentrate on other things,” Woodward told The Times.
“ITV were very disappointed but after the Rugby World Cup I wanted to go out on a high. I will be at Twickenham still – but this time as a spectator and fan.
“I would like to thank the ITV Sport team and my fellow panellists and co-commentators for so many great games and happy memories, and wish everyone the very best for an exciting Six Nations,” he added.
