Monday Night Football continues to be a family affair, as brothers and Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Eli Manning are back with their alternate broadcast, Monday Night Football with Peyton & Eli, aka the Manningcast, for 11 Monday Night Football games during the 2024 NFL season.
The Manning brothers host these alternate broadcasts of Monday Night Football on ESPN 2 (and occasionally ESPN Plus) simultaneously with the main Monday Night Football broadcast on ESPN, starting at 8:13 pm ET/5:13 pm PT.
Monday Night Football With Peyton and Eli is a casual, non-traditional remote telecast, with Peyton calling the game from Denver and Eli residing in New Jersey. As the brothers give their analysis of game action, big picture debates and historical perspective, they are joined by current and classic NFL stars each week, as well as other sports-crazed celebrities. New this season, Peyton is also going to have new technology that lets him operate a virtual football field to demonstrate routes, formations and offensive and defensive strategies.
Peyton Manning is a two-time Super Bowl winner and five-time MVP with the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos. He retired from the NFL in 2016 and was enshrined in the NFL Hall of Fame in 2021. Since his retirement, he has been a seemingly constant presence on TV starring in commercials and a handful of other TV projects.
Eli Manning, meanwhile, won two Super Bowls of his own for the New York Giants. He retired in 2020. While not as present on TV as his older brother, he’s had some classic commercials as well, including an all-time great ESPN commercial with Peyton.
They are welcoming a new regular guest this season, one that is very familiar with both Peyton and Eli: former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. Belichick appear during all 11 Manningcasts during the first half. Additional guests will then make appearances in the second half.
