ESPN Announces ManningCast Schedule Featuring 40 Athletes

Peyton and Eli Manning have returned for their sixth season of the ManningCast, an alternate broadcast airing on ESPN2 and the app. The upcoming slate includes a match between the Los Angeles Rams and New York Giants this Monday night. To promote twelve broadcasts in 2026, the Mannings recruited over forty athletes and celebrities for a campaign video titled "ManningCast: Heist," featuring stars such as Anne Hathaway, Paul Rudd, Larry David, John Hamm, Glenn Powell, Serena Williams, Rob Gronkowski, Marshawn Lynch, Travis Kelce, and others. The video depicts the pair breaking into NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's office to alter the schedule. In addition to eleven regular-season games, an alternate telecast of Super Bowl LXI will debut on February 14, 2027.
