Buck, Aikman Pass Summerall, Madden In On-Air Longevity


Last night , with Monday Night Football’s season debut featuring Week 1’s most anticipated match-up, ESPN’s Joe Buck and Troy Aikman embark on a record-setting 22nd season, becoming the NFL’s longest-tenured network broadcast team ever.

When the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets kicked off from the MetLife Stadium, Buck and Aikman surpassed the legendary duo of Pat Summerall and John Madden, who worked together for 21 years (1981-2001).

Buck and Aikman first teamed up at FOX for the 2002 NFL Season and remained until prior to last season, when they debuted as the voices of ESPN’s Monday Night Football.

During their partnership, Buck and Aikman:

  • Have called over 300 regular season and 50 postseason games
  • Were lead voices for Six Super Bowls(XXXIX, XLII, XLV, XLVIII, LI and LIV).
  • Will call Super Bowl LXI (On ESPN and ABC, in their 25thseason together to conclude the 2026 season).
