Get ready for more Jason Kelce, NFL fans.
The former Philadelphia Eagles center has been all over ESPN since he joined the network after retiring from the game in 2024. Kelce has been a part of ESPN’s “Monday Night Countdown,” while also appearing across the network on various studio shows. Kelce has also been a part of ESPN’s Masters coverage and The Golf League coverage.

Not everyone is the biggest Kelce, fan, though. While he seems like a nice enough guy, Jason Kelce – and most of his family – have been constantly shoved in the sports world’s collective face for the past several years. Even his wife, Kylie, has a podcast, and his mom, Donna, is appearing in commercials.
It’s too much Kelce.
But, heading into the 2026 season, it sounds like we could get more Kelce. Ryan Glasspiegel of Front Office Sports reports that Jason Kelce could have a broadcasting role in some of the seven games set to air on NFL Network, which was recently acquired by ESPN.
“A source told FOS this week that it is still ‘fluid’ about whether Kelce will join some of these games and that no decision has been finalized either way,” he reported.
It sounds like Kelce will have some kind of role, though, on actual NFL broadcasts.

NFL fans getting annoyed by ESPN’s plans for Kelce
NFL fans sounded off on the plans on Tuesday afternoon.
“Yes it’s time for more Jason Kelce,” one fan said sarcastically.
“How do companies still think people want to see this guy everywhere,” one fan added.
“Was just telling my buddies we need more Kelce this season,” another fan joked.
“Please no I’m sick of this kelce family everywhere,” one fan added.
“So, most of America will be watching on mute,” another fan said of ESPN’s broadcasting plans for Kelce.
While fans can complain on social media, it’s clear that ESPN values Kelce, and won’t be holding off on promoting him as much as possible throughout football season.
