In a year that saw the network sign perhaps the biggest name in sports in Pat McAfee, while simultaneously laying off both on air and behind the scenes talent, ESPN finally looks ready to move forward.
ESPN’s Fall Schedule
Beginning the same day that the 2023 NFL season kicks off, ESPN’s robust weekday studio lineup will begin at 8 a.m. ET with two hours of the Mike Greenberg led Get Up.

Here Comes McAfee
“We can’t wait for Pat and his team to bring a fresh new energy to ESPN’s weekday lineup, led by some of the most prominent, creative and authentic voices in sports,” says Burke Magnus, president of content at ESPN. “The Pat McAfee Show will redefine what success looks like across multiple platforms. And will bring a new, contemporary audience to our afternoon time block. It’s a perfect fit.”
In addition to airing on ESPN, The Pat McAfee show will be simulcast on ESPN on Youtube and ESPN+ from noon until 2 p.m. The final 2-3 p.m. hour will then be broadcast exclusively on Youtube and ESPN+.
According to the network, additional details, including regular guests, will be announced in the coming weeks.
