Luke Combs set to join ‘Manningcast’ on Monday Night Football

Nov 24, 2025, 1:27 PM | Updated: 3:35 pm

Monday Night Football on ESPN2 means one thing: “Manningcast” is back. Peyton and Eli Manning’s alternate broadcast has become a fan favorite, offering live game reactions, breakdowns, interviews and hilarious off-the-cuff moments that give viewers a totally different way to watch Monday Night Football.

Monday, the brothers are bringing in country superstar Luke Combs as one of their featured guests for the 49ers vs. Panthers matchup. A North Carolina native and diehard Panthers fan, Combs will join “Manningcast” during the second quarter, where he’s expected to talk Panthers football, music and his long-time love for the franchise. His fandom runs deep — including his recently announced Carolina Panthers merchandise collaboration, which sold out immediately when it dropped.

The “Manningcast” guest list has been loaded with big names this season, and tonight is no different. In addition to Luke Combs, viewers will hear from:

  • Jerry Rice – NFL Hall of Famer and 49ers legend

  • Colin Jost & Michael Che – “SNL” anchors and comedians

  • Jake Delhomme – Former Panthers quarterback

This season has already featured star-studded appearances from Shane Gillis, Charles Barkley, Michael Phelps and even President George W. Bush last week.

Catch “Manningcast” Monday starting at 6:15 PM on ESPN2, and enjoy another night of football, fun and unexpected moments with Peyton and Eli.
