BRISTOL, Conn. — Former Denver Broncos quarterback Brian Griese will be joined by Steve Levy and Louis Riddick on ESPN's new Monday Night Football (MNF) commentator team.
The new commentating team will begin the 2020 NFL season with the Tennessee Titans at the Denver Broncos on Monday, Sept. 14 (8:10 p.m. MT), the second game of an annual Week 1 doubleheader.
The game will also air on KTVD Channel 20 — that's 657 or 5 on Xfinity.
The trio of Griese, Levy and Riddick boast more than 45 years of broadcasting experience at the national sports network, according to ESPN. The new MNF broadcast team will also include Lisa Salters, returning for her ninth season, and officiating analyst John Parry.
The pair of Griese and Levy called Broncos' preseason games on KTVD Channel 20 in 2018 and 2019.

Levy will begin the MNF assignment in his 28th year at ESPN.
“Steve, Brian and Louis are trusted voices of the NFL whose knowledge and love of football connects with fans,” said Connor Schell, ESPN Executive Vice President, Content. “We are thrilled that they will join Lisa Salters to make up our new Monday Night Football team and share their passion and insight with football fans in what promises to be a great broadcast each week.”
