Peyton Manning and Eli Manning have returned for a sixth season of the ManningCast, their popular alternate broadcast of Monday Night Football that airs on ESPN2 and the ESPN App for select MNF matchups each fall.
The 2026 ManningCast slate continues tonight with the Los Angeles Rams (-7) hosting the New York Giants (+7).
To promote the 2026 schedule of 12 ManningCast broadcasts, Peyton and Eli recruited an all-star cast of more than 40 athletes and celebrities for their "ManningCast: Heist" campaign this offseason.
In the 16-minute video, with appearances from Anne Hathaway, Paul Rudd, Larry David, John Hamm, Glenn Powell, Serena Williams, Rob Gronkowski, Marshawn Lynch, Travis Kelce (and more), the Mannings broke into NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's
office to change the ManningCast schedule (watch the video here).
In addition to 11 regular-season games, the ManningCast will also debut an alternate telecast of Super Bowl LXI on Feb. 14, 2027.

The alternate broadcast complements ESPN’s traditional MNF presentation, which features Joe Buck and Troy Aikman.
Peyton Manning won two Super Bowls during his NFL career, one with the Indianapolis Colts and one with the Denver Broncos. Eli Manning also won two titles, both with the New York Giants. Now they have a deal with ESPN through the 2034 NFL season.
