ESPN Announces “ManningCast” 2022 Schedule; Which Games Can You Stream on ESPN+?

The ManningCast is back for Year 2 — and we now know exactly which games Peyton and Eli will discuss this season.

Today, ESPN announced that the Super Bowl-winning brothers would be back for a second season to cover 10 games, including a Super Wild Card Weekend bout. The games include appearances by one of Peyton’s former teams — the Denver Broncos — Eli’s former team — the New York Giants — as well as interesting matchups between high-level quarterbacks. The full list of games can be found below:

ESPN2 will televise all editions of the ManningCast, with four presentations simulcast on ESPN+ — Week 1, 3, 15, and the Wild Card game. The alternate presentation will go live right before kickoff once again, at approximately 8:13 p.m. ET.

Interestingly enough, “Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli” will also be available to stream on mobile with NFL+, the NFL’s dedicated streaming service. What once was a niche product has immediately become an interesting proposition, especially for cord-cutters who don’t subscribe to any sort of cable provider.

In its first season, “Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli” assisted in “Monday Night Football” delivering its most-watched season since 2010, and the alternate production was recognized with a Sports Emmy in May, winning Outstanding Live Television Series.

The alternate broadcasting experiment also spawned numerous copycats across sports, including the “KayRod” broadcast for baseball and a Joe Buck-helmed golf simulcast.

Nothing beats the original, though, and football fans across the globe can’t wait to see Peyton and Eli break down the action for another season.
