Monday Night Football

Debuting in 1970 and reigning as one of the longest-continuously-running American television series, Monday Night Football (MNF) returns with a strong lineup for the 2023 season. Having shifted to ESPN in 2006, the MNF brand continues to captivate.

Beyond the U.S., MNF is broadcasted internationally in Canada, Australia, Portugal, Denmark, and in other regions of the world on ESPN International. Even language is no barrier to enjoying the sport.

Buck and Aikman Return for Commentary

Monday Night Football makes a triumphant return for the 2023 NFL season, and fans will hear the familiar voices of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman in the commentary booth. MNF games air predominantly on ESPN, with selected matchups available on ABC, ESPN2, ESPN+, and ESPN Deportes for expanded viewer access and engagement.

A Changing of the Guard: Scott Van Pelt to Succeed Kolber

After 27 years of dedicated service, it seems that ESPN’s beloved anchor is set for a transition. Longtime ESPN personality Scott Van Pelt is tipped to succeed as Kolber’s successor, according to sources like Richard Deitsch from The Athletic and Andrew Marchand of the New York Post.

While Van Pelt hasn’t confirmed his acceptance, the situation is believed to be moving in that direction. Van Pelt has had a storied career with ESPN since joining in 2001, hosting the midnight edition of SportsCenter since 2015 and providing coverage for major golf tournaments.
