Peyton, Eli Manning to co-host alternate MNF broadcast

ESPN is partnering with Peyton Manning and his Omaha Productions to create the Monday Night Football "MegaCast," the company announced Monday.

Peyton will team up with younger brother Eli Manning on a new broadcast for 10 games each season over three campaigns beginning in 2021.

"This partnership with ESPN and The Walt Disney Company reflects an ongoing, shared commitment to offering fans fun, innovative content," said Peyton.

The show will include guests and celebrity appearances as the brothers broadcast remotely. It will air on ESPN2, with potential distribution across other Disney properties.

"Offering multiple Monday Night Football viewing options for the next three seasons continues our innovation efforts and provides additional value for our fans," said the chairman of ESPN and Sports Content Jimmy Pitaro.

"Peyton and Eli will bring a different approach, delving into conversation about broader, big-picture topics while also honing in on the game, much like fans do when watching with their family and friends," he added.
