It’s back!
On Friday, ESPN announced that the legendary NFL PrimeTime will make it’s return in 2019 with host Chris Berman alongside former Broncos linebacker Tom Jackson.

In a statement released by Chris Berman:
“Once upon a time at ESPN there was this marvelous show called NFL PrimeTime with yours truly and Tom Jackson. … Wouldn’t it be great if that came back in the 100th season of pro football and the 40th anniversary of ESPN?” Berman said in a video released on Friday. “It Is. Sometimes dreams do come true. So join us for NFL PrimeTime on ESPN+. Same as it ever was. Back to the future.”
NFL PrimeTime will air on Sunday nights at 7:30 p.m. ET, according to the Sports Business Journal’s John Ourand. The program will reportedly stay on ESPN+ through “late Wednesday” each week.
