To announce the 2026 schedule for their Monday Night Football simulcast Monday Night with Peyton and Eli – aka the ManningCast – the brothers Manning tapped Paul Rudd, Anne Hathaway, John Hamm, and a total of 40 celebrities to cameo in their “ManningCast: Heist” video. The video calls it “their biggest stunt yet” and that’s no exaggeration: From the Larry David rant to the extended role for NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, it’s truly is worthy of a behind-the-scenes featurette and blooper reel.
But for all the fun and games, let’s not lose sight of what really matters here: The fun and games. Here’s the full ManningCast schedule for the 2026 NFL season, and how to watch all year long with Sling.
