ESPN is loading up for its biggest NFL season yet, and Pat McAfee and Jason Kelce will be right in the middle of it.

The network unveiled its revamped Sunday and Monday NFL coverage Wednesday, with McAfee joining Kelce, Marcus Spears and Jason McCourty alongside host Scott Van Pelt on "Monday Night Countdown."
McAfee's addition expands an already sizable role at ESPN. He'll continue hosting "The Pat McAfee Show" and appearing on "College GameDay" before adding Monday night pregame duties.
Kelce is getting another job, too.
The former Philadelphia Eagles star will make his debut as a regular game analyst on NFL Network, joining play-by-play announcer Dave Pasch and Hall of Famer Kurt Warner in the booth.
That crew will call several international games, including Colts-Commanders and Eagles-Jaguars in London, along with the NFL's first game in Paris between the Steelers and Saints.
ESPN's top "Monday Night Football" team remains intact, with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman in the booth and Lisa Salters and Laura Rutledge working the sidelines.
Buck and Aikman are entering their 25th season together, the longest-running NFL broadcast booth partnership in history.
Peyton and Eli Manning are also back for a sixth season of the "ManningCast."
On Sundays, Mike Greenberg returns to host "Sunday NFL Countdown" alongside Tedy Bruschi, Rex Ryan, Randy Moss and Alex Smith. Rich Eisen will continue hosting NFL Network's "GameDay Morning" with Warner, Steve Mariucci and Gerald McCoy.
The expanded lineup comes as ESPN prepares to broadcast its first Super Bowl.
Super Bowl LXI will air on ESPN and ABC on Feb. 14, 2027, with Buck, Aikman, Salters and Rutledge calling the game.
Between McAfee, Kelce, the Mannings and ESPN's usual cast of NFL heavyweights, the network certainly isn't easing its way into the Super Bowl business.
