Simpsons-Themed NFL Broadcast Expands to ABC and NFL+

On December 9th, the Cincinnati Bengals and Dallas Cowboys will face off in a special 'The Simpsons Funday Football' edition of Monday Night Football, transforming the game into an animated spectacle set in the world of 'The Simpsons.' The game will be aired on ESPN, ABC, and streamed on ESPN+, Disney+, and NFL+, featuring real-time animation synced with live player movements using advanced tracking technology. Bart Simpson will support the Bengals, while Homer backs the Cowboys, with other family members like Marge and Lisa participating as interviewers and Maggie operating the SkyCam. The alternate broadcast continues ESPN's trend of innovative sports presentations, following last year's 'Toy Story' themed game. The traditional broadcast will be available for those not interested in the animated version, with commentary from Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, supplemented by the 'ManningCast' on ESPN2.
