Schrager Lands New ESPN Afternoon Show

ESPN is officially launching a new afternoon show hosted by Peter Schrager, which will debut on September 10th. The program, titled 'Big Day with Peter Schrager,' is set to air Mondays through Thursdays at 2:00 p.m. ET. Its schedule will expand to include Fridays following the conclusion of the college football season. This new show replaces the 2:00 p.m. edition of SportsCenter, which vacated the timeslot after 'Around the Horn' ended in May 2025. The 5:00 p.m. SportsCenter slot also remains unchanged. Schrager, who joined ESPN in April 2025, has been a subject of speculation for an afternoon program since his arrival. Reports from May 2025 indicated a high likelihood of him hosting a show in the 2 or 5 p.m. slot, emphasizing an all-sports concept rather than solely NFL content. This aligns with Schrager's past success on NFL Network's 'Good Morning Football' and his podcast, 'The Schrager Hour.' The new show, based in ESPN's New York studios, will feature Schrager's solo segments and expected guest appearances from prominent ESPN and NFL Network figures. Its tone will be conversational, distinguishing it from debate-style programs.
