Earlier this offseason, reports emerged that Peyton Manning was recruiting Bill Belichick to join him at Omaha Productions in 2024. Manning’s pitch worked.
ESPN officially announced this week that Belichick will be a special guest on all 11 “ManningCast” broadcasts of Monday Night Football games this season, joining Peyton and Eli Manning. Separately, Belichick will also appear as a guest on the “The Pat McAfee Show” on Mondays this fall.
Perhaps even more notable than Belichick’s role on the “ManningCast,” though, is this an upcoming new show with Manning.
During the season, Belichick and Manning will break down the upcoming MNF matchup on “The Breakdown with Peyton and Belichick” on Fridays on ESPN+. Unfortunately, Belichick and Manning will only preview games that will feature a “ManningCast,” so that show will have 11 episodes in 2024.
After debuting on ESPN+, each episode will later air on ESPN2.
