Mike Greenberg has been named host of ESPN‘s Sunday NFL Countdown.
Greenberg currently hosts ESPN’s morning show, Get Up, and the Greeny radio show. He previously hosted NBA Countdown, SportsCenter and the Mike & Mike radio show with Mike Golic.
He takes over the host role from Sam Ponder, who was reportedly fired last week, alongside football analyst Robert Griffin III. The decision to part ways with the two was described as being part of a cost-cutting move.
Greenberg will join returning analysts Super Bowl Champions Tedy Bruschi and Rex Ryan, Pro Football Hall of Famer Randy Moss, three-time Pro Bowl quarterback Alex Smit on ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown.
ESPN’s senior NFL Insider Adam Schefter will return, as will Jeff Darlington, Dan Graziano, Kimberley A. Martin, Sal Paolantonio, Lindsey Thiry and sports betting analyst Erin Dolan.
Greenberg will be the fourth ever host of the program. He has hosted the network’s Thursday and Friday night coverage since 2021, and ESPN’s NFL Draft.
The Sunday NFL Countdown will continue to air 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET and from ESPN’s headquarters in Bristol, Conn. This will be the 40th season of the show.
