For the fifth straight year, ESPN will showcase an alternative broadcast on ESPN2 during Monday Night Football games hosted by Peyton and Eli Manning—otherwise known as the ManningCast.

The beloved football brothers discuss the game that night, and also host guests who usually have some sort of affiliation with the teams playing. The guests range from former NFL players to actors to singers—you name it.

Ahead of the 2025 NFL season beginning on Thursday, Sept. 4, Omaha Productions released the full 12-game slate of ManningCast broadcasts this year.
