For the fifth straight year, ESPN will showcase an alternative broadcast on ESPN2 during _Monday Night Football_ games hosted by Peyton and Eli Manning—otherwise known as the _ManningCast_.
The beloved football brothers discuss the game that night, and also host guests who usually have some sort of affiliation with the teams playing. The guests range from former NFL players to actors to singers—you name it.

_ManningCast_ will kick off right away in Week 1 on Monday, Sept. 8 when the Vikings take on the Bears in Chicago. There's some jumping around in the schedule after that, until the show has six consecutive Monday night broadcasts from Week 8–13.
The simulcast will also air during a wild-card matchup for the third year in a row. ESPN plans to have the Manning brothers host a simulcast during the 2027 Super Bowl when the network broadcasts the big game.
