By Movieguide® Contributor

Six-time Super Bowl-winning coach Bill Belichick is getting started at ESPN as part of MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL with THE BREAKDOWN.

“Belichick is joining the sports network with his own talk show, THE BREAKDOWN, which he will co-host alongside Peyton Manning. The show will premiere on Friday, September 6, on ESPN+ ahead of the match between the New York Jets and the San Francisco 49ers,” Deadline reported.

Episodes are “set to run before the 11 weeks that ESPN2 will have a Manningcast. Episodes will run on ESPN2 and ESPN+, with excerpts running on other ESPN programming.”

“Each episode of THE BREAKDOWN will set the stage for MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL WITH PEYTON AND ELI, where Belichick will join the Emmy®Award-winning show as a featured guest,” Walt Disney Studios added. “Belichick will regularly come on with Peyton and Eli shortly after the game is underway and join the Super Bowl-winning brothers during the first half. In the second half, Peyton and Eli will bring on additional guests from both inside and outside the sports world, including pop culture icons.”

Belichick will also join THE PAT MCAFEE SHOW every Monday during the football season.

This will be “an extended conversation on all things NFL, including reaction to the week’s headlining game results, storylines and more. Belichick’s first appearance on the program came during the fifth annual DRAFT SPECTACULAR, which drew record-breaking viewership across social platforms,” per Deadline.

Movieguide® previously reported on Belichick:

Legendary Patriots coach Bill Belichick is set to join The CW’s INSIDE THE NFL to share his insight alongside Ryan Clark, Chad Johnson and Chris Long.

“I’m thrilled to join my new team at NFL Films and to work on such a historic television franchise,” Belichick said. “I’ve always appreciated INSIDE THE NFL’s depth of analysis, and I hope to bring the same detailed insight to The CW by talking real football with real pros – Ryan, Chris and Chad – this coming season.”

“Bill Belichick joining INSIDE THE NFL is a true game-changer for this storied franchise and the CW,” added Dennis Miller, president of The CW Network. “Not only is he one of the most accomplished coaches in NFL history, but his knowledge and passion for football is truly unmatched. Fans will not get the chance to hear his insights and better understand the nuances of the game from the master himself. We cannot wait for Bill, Ryan, Chad, and Chris to deliver a championship-caliber show all season long.”
