It’s official, Joe Buck and Troy Aikman will leave Fox Sports for new roles at ESPN in a deal estimated to be worth $30 million annually for the duo.
They signed a multiyear deal with ESPN, where they will take over the booth for ESPN’s Monday Night Football NFL coverage beginning September 12th.
The move will see Buck leave his broadcast home of nearly 30 years for the new job. Buck had been Fox’s lead NFL announcer, and also led the network’s Major League Baseball coverage.
In addition to the Buck-Aikman booth, ESPN also has Peyton and Eli Manning lead an alternate broadcast with special guests each week.
Both men will also work on projects for the ESPN+ streaming platform.
