Destination Tampa: ESPN’s Monday Night Presentation of Eagles vs. Buccaneers Punctuates Super Wild Card Weekend; Game available on ESPN, ABC, ESPN2, ESPN Deportes and ESPN+

For the third consecutive season, ESPN’s Monday night presentation will conclude Super Wild Card Weekend as the defending NFC Champion and fifth-seeded Philadelphia Eagles travel to the NFC South winner Tampa Bay Buccaneers (January 15, 8 p.m. ET).

ESPN’s Monday Night Football voices Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, Lisa Salters, along with Laura Rutledge who has been added to ESPN’s NFL playoff game presentations, and John Parry will call the traditional telecast on ESPN and ABC. Peyton and Eli Manning will have their alternate telecast on ESPN2, while ESPN Deportes carries the Spanish-language call. All presentations will be available on ESPN+.

ESPN will surround the Super Wild Card finale with its signature on-site studio presence, as NFL Live, Monday Night Countdown, and SportsCenter with Scott Van Pelt will all originate from Raymond James Stadium. Prior to the afternoon programming, ESPN’s morning shows will have a presence in Tampa.

New this year, following the Super Wild Card finale, ESPN will air a Divisional playoff game for the first time on either January 20 or 21, across many of the same networks. The matchup will be announced by the NFL and coverage details will be announced following Monday’s game.

ESPN’s NFL Playoff presentations follow a record-setting Monday Night Football regular season, as the television franchise achieved its best viewership in 23 seasons.
