- *ManningCast* (Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli): The alternate broadcast is confirmed for its fifth season, beginning in September 2025, with an expanded schedule of 12 shows for the year.

The Manning Brothers' Enduring Legacy and 2025 Public Roles
The brothers’ influence extends far beyond the studio. Their public roles in 2025 underscore their commitment to the NFL, college football, and significant charitable causes, reinforcing the positive image of the "Manning Legacy."
The Annual Pro Bowl Coaching Rivalry
For the third consecutive year, Peyton and Eli Manning will return to coach the AFC and NFC rosters, respectively, at the 2025 Pro Bowl Games. This role has become a beloved annual tradition, providing a platform for their competitive spirit to shine. Eli recently joked that Peyton was attempting to "steal" his strategy, a playful nod to their lifelong rivalry that fans adore.
The Manning Award and College Football
The brothers continue to honor their college roots through the prestigious Manning Award, which recognizes the nation's top college quarterback. The award is unique as it is the only quarterback award that includes the candidates' bowl game performances in the final deliberation. Their continued involvement ensures the Manning name remains a powerful force in the development of future NFL talent.
Eli Manning’s Philanthropic Focus
While Peyton drives the media empire, Eli has deeply committed to philanthropic endeavors, particularly in the New York area. He remains heavily involved with the Tackle Kids Cancer initiative in conjunction with Hackensack University Medical Center. This work, combined with his role as a New York Giants ambassador, keeps him connected to the community that supported him throughout his 16-year career. Interestingly, recent reports confirmed that Eli is no longer pursuing a minority ownership stake in his former team, the Giants, a decision reportedly related to financial and structural considerations. This allows him to focus fully on his media and charity work.
Peyton's Ownership Ventures
Peyton's business acumen also extends into sports ownership. He is a minority owner of the Denver NWSL team, showcasing a commitment to expanding women's professional sports. His estimated net worth, which hovers between $250 million and $350 million, is a testament to the success of his business ventures, endorsement deals, and the shrewd founding of *Omaha Productions*.
The Manning brothers are proving that retirement from the NFL is merely a pivot point. In 2025, they are not just commentators or former players; they are innovative media executives and cultural figures who have successfully leveraged their on-field fame into a sustainable, multi-faceted business dynasty.
