Potential changes loom for ESPN's Monday Night Football broadcast team

Troy Aikman may part ways with Joe Buck after the 2026 season, marking a possible end to their long-standing partnership on ESPN's Monday Night Football. Aikman and Buck entered the final year of their contracts this season, with Buck recently signing a lucrative extension. Speculation arises around Andrew Marchand's suggestion that the Manning brothers could replace Aikman in the broadcast booth, given their existing relationship with ESPN through Omaha Productions. While Marchand indicated that this idea is largely speculative, the possibility of the Mannings joining Buck has reportedly gained traction. Aikman’s future, however, remains uncertain, as he has paused discussions regarding his contract renewal.
