Joe Buck and Troy Aikman are the primary commentators on Monday Night Football right now, with a sideline reporter (most often Lisa Salters or another ESPN/ABC reporter) rounding out the main crew.

Main MNF broadcast team

  • Play‑by‑play: Joe Buck, longtime NFL and baseball broadcaster, now the lead voice for ESPN’s Monday Night Football.
  • Color analyst: Troy Aikman, Hall of Fame former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and Buck’s on‑air partner for many years.
  • Sideline: ESPN typically pairs them with an experienced sideline reporter such as Lisa Salters or a similar veteran reporter, depending on the specific game assignment.

These three form the core team you’ll hear on most national Monday night games this season.
