Beginning in September, THE RICH EISEN SHOW will air on ESPN Radio, as well as Disney+ and ESPN+, ESPN confirmed.
“Rich Eisen is one of the most respected and recognizable voices in sports media. His ability to seamlessly blend insight, humor, and star power has built a loyal following across platforms,” David Roberts, ESPN Executive Vice President, Executive Editor, Sports News and Entertainment, said in a press release on Tuesday. “We’re thrilled to welcome Rich back to ESPN Radio and to expand his show’s reach across our audio lineup and streaming services, including Disney+.”
“Once we struck a deal with Disney for the video version of THE RICH EISEN SHOW, it made complete sense to migrate the audio version to ESPN Radio, where I got started in the terrestrial radio world almost 30 years ago,” Eisen added. “It’s just another way to return to my roots with my old and now new friends at ESPN and GKB. I couldn’t be more excited about our future together on multiple platforms.”
THE RICH EISEN SHOW will continue its usual onslaught of “sports, humor and pop culture, including an array of signature guests, driving the show to become a leader and conversation starter in the sports media landscape for more than a decade.”
The show will go on the road for major sporting events, broadcasting live from the Super Bowl, NFL Draft and NFL Combine.
Along with sports stars, Eisen’s show often features Hollywood celebrities. Most recently, Chad Michael Murray shared his predictions for the Buffalo Bills 2025 season record.
The FREAKY FRIDAY star anticipates the Bills will finish the regular season 15-2 and that the team will face off against the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles, in Super Bowl LX. Time will tell if the actor’s estimations are correct.

In another episode, Eisen asked Rich Hill, the oldest pitcher to appear in an MLB game since 2012, why he keeps pitching at 45 years old.
“I love it, and that’s obviously the cliché short answer,” Hill said. “But I also look to 45 and say…a lot of people do what they love for a long time, and I think that’s one of the things that I’m fortunate that my body has been able to hold up. I had the internal brace at age 39 and was able to come back and have been able to pitch for the last five years successfully. And I think that’s something that was kind of a big opportunity for me to get back and have that health really be a benefactor of it.”
Sports fans can catch more inspirational stories and exciting guests on THE RICH EISEN SHOW when it begins airing on ESPN Radio from 12 p.m.-3 p.m., beginning in September.
