Joe Buck is not going anywhere.

The ESPN play-by-play announcer, who enters his fifth season calling "Monday Night Football," has agreed to a contract extension that will keep him at the network into the 2030s, The Athletic reported.

Buck's current deal was set to expire after he and Troy Aikman, his color analyst booth partner who remains unsigned beyond February, call Super Bowl 61, which is ESPN's first time back in the "big game" rotation in two decades.

With his contract extension, Buck will call ESPN's next Super Bowl following the 2030 season. The Athletic reported the deal bumps his annual salary from $15 million to $18 million.

In addition to "MNF," Buck has hosted "Good Morning America" and Disney's new "Sports Jeopardy" venture.

Buck,

57, spent the first 25 years of his career at FOX where he and Aikman were the network's No. 1 team until they left for the "Worldwide Leader" together. Buck also called Major League Baseball's playoffs and World Series for FOX. He and Aikman have worked together since 2002.
