ESPN will undoubtedly pull out all the stops when it airs the Super Bowl on February 14, 2027, and the Manning brothers will apparently be involved.

Front Office Sports’ Alex Schiffer noted that ESPN president of content Burke Magnus was asked during Tuesday’s Front Office Sports Tuned In summit if there was a ManningCast of the Super Bowl in two and a half years, and he confirmed that this is the plan.

“If we didn’t do that, I think I’d have a problem with those two guys,” Magnus said of Peyton and Eli Manning. “But yeah, that’s definitely going to be a part of it.”

The ManningCast will air on ESPN 2 and simulcast with ESPN’s Monday night football coverage. It gives the two legendary quarterbacks the chance to analyze the game in real time and provide their unique commentary on the action.

It also gives them a chance to welcome a number of guests, including legendary coach Bill Belichick. Belichick will be a regular guest on this year’s broadcasts, making his debut during Monday’s game between the San Francisco 49ers and the New York Jets.

Schiffer noted that ESPN’s deal with Peyton Manning’s production company, Omaha Productions, runs through 2034.

This season’s Super Bowl will air on Fox, while next season’s will air on NBC. ABC and ESPN will enter the picture in 2027, with the four major networks rotating from there going forward.

The 2027 Super Bowl, which will be broadcast on ABC and ESPN, will take place at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
