ManningCast 2026 Schedule: Every Confirmed Air Date This NFL Season
If you’re trying to plan around the ManningCast, here’s what’s actually confirmed about its schedule this season — and where the gaps are.
What’s confirmed
The ManningCast, ESPN2’s alternate Monday Night Football broadcast with Peyton and Eli Manning, is set to air 11 times during the regular season, plus the Super Bowl. That’s the full scope of what’s been confirmed publicly.
What’s not confirmed
The specific dates or opponent matchups for those 11 broadcasts aren’t included in the reporting available here. If you’re trying to figure out exactly which Monday nights the Mannings will be on versus a regular ESPN/ABC broadcast, that level of detail isn’t in this source.
Why this matters right now
The schedule question has gotten more attention because ESPN reportedly plans to run a competing alternate broadcast — hosted by Pat McAfee — on ESPN2 during the Monday nights when the Mannings aren’t on. That means ESPN2’s alternate-broadcast slot won’t be a ManningCast-only feature this year; it’ll rotate between two different shows.
Where to check the exact dates
Since the specific week-by-week schedule isn’t confirmed in current reporting, your best bet is ESPN’s official NFL schedule page or ESPN’s own press releases, which typically list ManningCast dates once they’re locked in. Given how new the McAfee wrinkle is, it’s worth double-checking closer to each Monday in case scheduling details shift.
