Longtime Fox broadcasters Buck and Troy Aikman moved to ESPN in 2022 with a multiyear deal as play-by-play announcers for Monday Night Football. They began their partnership in 2002 as a three-man booth with analyst Cris Collinsworth before becoming a duo in 2005. Over their 22 seasons together, they have called more than 300 regular-season games, more than 40 playoff matchups, 18 NFC Championships and six Super Bowls. Both have been nominated for Sports Emmy Awards multiple times, with Buck winning a record-tying eight times for play-by-play. In December 2022, Buck was inducted into the Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame. Working along sideline reporter Lisa Salters, the trio won the Sports Emmy for Outstanding Live Sports Series for the 2023 season.
