Pat McAfee Takes Over Super Bowl LXI Broadcast
10 Oct
Summary
- Pat McAfee will host an alternate broadcast for Super Bowl LXI.
- This broadcast will feature his 'Field Pass' style, similar to past events.
- Super Bowl LXI will be available to stream on Disney+ this year.
Pat McAfee will bring his unique broadcasting style to Super Bowl LXI in February with an alternate cast through ESPN. This "Field Pass" telecast is expected to mirror his previous successful broadcasts, including one for the college football national championship earlier this year.
McAfee's involvement extends to select "Monday Night Football" games this season. This expansion follows the Walt Disney Company's announcement that Disney+ will stream the Super Bowl LXI broadcast. This marks the seventh consecutive year a Super Bowl will be accessible via a streaming service, beginning with Super Bowl LV.
McAfee has increased his presence on ESPN this year, joining the "Monday Night Countdown" pregame show and continuing his role on "College GameDay." ESPN was awarded this season's Super Bowl in 2021 as part of a new NFL media rights deal. This championship game will also mark the return of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman to the broadcast booth for the NFL's biggest game. The game is scheduled to be played on Valentine's Day.
