Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, who have worked together for 20 years in the broadcast booth, have signed multiyear agreements to join the studio show on Monday Night Football.
The duo, who have both been in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, will contribute to the network.
When you have the chance to bring in the legendary, longest-running NFL broadcasting duo, you take it, especially at a time when we are on the verge of a new era in our relationship with the NFL.
The legendary broadcasting duo of Pat Summerall and John Madden will be joined in the booth by Buck and Aikman.

Buck and Aikman have called six Super Bowls.
Buck said that everything about Monday Night Football, including the broadcast, set the standard for the modern NFL experience.
To return to the stadium on Monday nights with Troy, who I have the utmost comfort with and confidence in, has me excited about this season and our future.
Lisa Salters will return for her 11th season as a sideline reporter on Monday Night Football.
The regular-season debut of the new team will be Sept. 12.
In 2006 Aikman was in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and in 2020 Buck was in the Hall.
The opportunity to be a voice on Monday Night Football, adding to its legacy and being a part of the future of the NFL on ESPN, has me motivated and reflective, Aikman said in a statement.
The tradition of being part of that same tradition that has existed for more than 50 years across generations of football fans is something that I and Joe are very proud of. I'm looking forward to the next few years with all of our new teammates.
The 2022-23 season will have 22 games, up from 20 last season. One Monday Night Football game will be exclusively on ABC, and there is also a Sunday international game that will be broadcasted.
The schedule for this season includes three weeks of multiple NFL games on the networks, with that increasing to five in the 24th season.
The Pro Bowl will continue to be broadcasted.
