Report: ESPN plans to host ManningCast when it broadcasts Super Bowl LXI

Peyton Manning and Eli Manning will be calling a future Super Bowl through their ManningCast. Per Front Office Sports, ESPN president of content Burke Magnus said that ManningCast will be part of the Super Bowl LXI coverage.

“If we didn’t, I think I’d have a problem with those two fellows,” Magnus said. “But yeah, that’s gonna be definitely a part of it.”

Peyton and Eli Manning debuted ManningCast (also known as Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli) in 2021, and the brothers give their analysis on the Monday Night Football game while at their homes each week. ESPN originally agreed to a three-year contract for ManningCast in 2021, but it has been extended multiple times with Omaha Productions.

Last year, PopCulture.com spoke to Eli Manning about being on ManningCast with Peyton Manning. “It’s been a lot of fun. It’s been good where we get to do it from my basement,” Eli said.

“So that was really one of the main reasons I didn’t want to get into regular broadcasting because you’d be gone every weekend and I wanted to be around my kids and wanted to be around their activities. And so it keeps me home on Monday nights, keeps me home on the weekends and get to hang out with my brother.

“We talk a lot during the week of the weeks we have games and our preparation of watching film of what we see from certain defenses from certain players and then it is fun to go over that and then of course get to take some shots at each other. So I think that’s why we don’t do it every week. If we had to do it every single week and we had to do it in person, I think we would end up fighting and hating each other.”

Super Bowl LXI will air on ESPN/ABC on Sunday, Feb. 14, 2027. The game will take place at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, the home of the Los Angeles Rams.
