Football fans have grown accustomed to hearing Joe Buck and Troy Aikman on Sundays during the NFL season. Now they’re getting a bit more used to hearing their voices on Monday nights.
Buck and Aikman are in their second seasons as the voices of “Monday Night Football” with ESPN since they left Fox following the end of the 2021 campaign.
The big change that has come to the Monday night production for 2023 happens before the game begins. “Monday Night Football” is now hosted by Scott Van Pelt, who leads a panel of Robert Griffin III, Adam Schefter, Ryan Clark, Marcus Spears and Michelle Beisner-Buck.
During the season, Larry Fitzgerald and Alex Smith will also make several appearances on the preview show.
