ManningCast Returns for 12 NFL Games on ESPN2 in 2025

The ManningCast, featuring Peyton and Eli Manning, is returning for its fifth season as an alternative Monday Night Football broadcast on ESPN2 for the 2025 NFL season. The duo will cover 12 games, including a wild-card playoff game, with broadcasts also available on the ESPN App and NFL+. The season kicks off with the Minnesota Vikings hosting the Chicago Bears in Week 1, and includes marquee matchups such as Eli Manning's former New York Giants facing the New England Patriots in Week 13. The schedule features a six-week consecutive run of broadcasts from Week 8 through Week 13, with additional games scattered throughout the season, culminating in a regular season finale in Week 18 and a wild-card game. The show continues to blend expert football insights from the Mannings with celebrity guests from sports and entertainment, maintaining the successful format established in previous seasons. ESPN and Omaha Productions have hinted at new and returning guest appearances, and the ManningCast is also expected to feature during the 2027 Super Bowl broadcast.
