Fantasy football season is back, and ESPN is dedicating all of Tuesday, August 15 to get you ready for the upcoming season.
The ESPN Fantasy Football Marathon begins Monday night at 7 p.m. Eastern, and continues until Tuesday night at 11 p.m. Eastern. The programming is carried by ESPN fantasy analyst Matthew Berry, who will appear in hourly spots throughout the marathon.
Last year’s marathon was successful in bringing people to participate in an ESPN Fantasy Football league. According to ESPN, who are in their 22nd year of hosting fantasy football leagues online, over 1.7 million teams were drafted during the 2016 marathon.
Within the 28 hours of programming is 11 “Special Edition” programs on ESPN, which includes fantasy football versions of ESPN staples First Take and Outside the Lines.

Berry and Adam Schefter will be the main draws, but expect lots of ESPN talent throughout. Trey Wingo and Kenny Mayne will be the hosts in primetime, and Sarah Spain is replacing Stugotz on “Fantasy Island.”
For the big finale, ESPN is hosting a celebrity fantasy football draft. Expect to see some ESPN talent mixed in, with WWE superstar Seth Rollins and former Bachelorette finalist Jordan Rodgers slated to participate.
