Sports fans, cue the NFL Films music and get ready to run the 40—because The Rich Eisen Show is making a splashy return to the ESPN family!

Starting this fall, fans can catch The Rich Eisen Show live weekdays from noon to 3 p.m. ET on both platforms. That’s right—Eisen’s wit, warmth, and encyclopedic sports knowledge will now be part of your daily Disney+ scroll alongside Marvel, Star Wars, and animated classics. Talk about a multiverse of sports and entertainment.
Back to the Future with ESPN
For longtime ESPN loyalists, this marks a nostalgic reunion. Eisen, who was a staple on SportsCenter from 1996 to 2003, is stepping back into the ESPN spotlight in a major way. Beyond his own show, he’ll also make appearances across ESPN’s studio programming. It’s a full-circle moment that Eisen himself didn’t expect.
“To say this has been a long time coming is an understatement,” Eisen said, adding with his signature self-deprecating humor, “I can’t wait to connect alike with new fans on Disney and ESPN’s many platforms and reconnect with long-time ones who remember me with hair.”
A Show That’s More Than Sports Talk
Launched in 2014, The Rich Eisen Show has built its reputation on more than just highlight reels. It’s a dynamic blend of sports, humor, and pop culture that attracts an A-list guest list. From Tom Brady to Jodie Foster, Patrick Mahomes to Paul Rudd, Eisen has created a space where newsmakers and icons alike come to chat, banter, and break news.
That unique tone is a big reason why Disney and ESPN are bringing him back into the fold. ESPN President of Content Burke Magnus called Eisen “an ESPN icon,” praising the show for its blend of “information, heart and humor.”
A New Chapter in a Storied Career
Though Eisen is rejoining ESPN, he’s not leaving his longtime NFL Network home. He’ll continue to host NFL GameDay Morning and lead coverage of marquee events like the NFL Draft, Scouting Combine, and Super Bowl.
In fact, Rich Eisen has become as much a part of the football season as fantasy lineups and nacho cheese. He’s a four-time Emmy nominee for Outstanding Studio Host and an annual highlight of NFL Draft Week. And through his Run Rich Run campaign, he’s helped raise over $8 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Business Behind the Broadcast
Good Karma Brands—ESPN’s partner for digital video, audio, and podcasts—will handle the advertising sales for The Rich Eisen Show, helping monetize the daily stream and bring in new brand partners for the beloved show.
This move is a major win for ESPN’s streaming strategy and for fans who want sports talk with a little more swagger and a lot more star power.
Final Whistle
With The Rich Eisen Show coming to Disney+ and ESPN+ this fall, it’s safe to say sports streaming just got an MVP upgrade. Whether you’re a long-time fan or about to tune in for the first time, Rich Eisen is ready to deliver takes, laughs, and unforgettable moments straight to your screen.
