(AUDACY) This past weekend, legendary NFL quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning — along with fellow brother Cooper and father Archie — teamed up for the 25th annual Manning Passing Academy. For those of you who may not have been able to attend or observe some of the brotherly banter that went on during those activities, fear not: The Manning brothers are coming to your television for a whole lot of live football action in the foreseeable future.

The two star Manning brothers will be the faces of a new Monday Night Football viewing option, ESPN announced Monday.
The new complementary viewing option will run for 30 games across three seasons and will be distributed on ESPN2, with "potential for additional distribution" on other streaming platforms and properties from Disney, according to the press release. The Mannings will head their side of the telecast from a remote location along with a host, though that person has yet to be determined. The traditional telecast -- with Steve Levy, Brian Griese, Louis Riddick, Lisa Salters and John Parry handling the broadcast -- will still be available on ESPN and/or ABC each week.
The new content from the Mannings on ESPN adds to their current shows called "Peyton's Places" and "Eli's Places," both of which are (or will be) available on ESPN+.
"This partnership with ESPN and The Walt Disney Company reflects an ongoing, shared commitment to offering fans fun, innovative content," Peyton said in the press release. "ESPN+ has been a terrific partner for Omaha Productions as we built out The Places franchise and we’re excited to co-create a new MegaCast format that will have something for everyone."
If you're a fan of the Ravens or Raiders, the Lions or Packers or the Eagles or Cowboys, you're in luck. Those are the first three matchups of the Monday Night Football season, and the complementary option with the Manning brothers will be available for each of those games.
