Pat McAfee has quickly become a massive part of sports media, particularly around the NFL.
His off-the-wall antics, interesting show format, and unconventional approach have appealed to fans across the world, sparking massive growth in his audience.
McAfee and his crew have recently touted that it is “Up to something season,” leaving many to speculate what his next move would be.
According to McAfee, via Dov Kleiman, his show is moving to ESPN, a change that will take place in the fall.

This announcement came in a separate video from McAfee’s typical show, which generally spans three hours.
There are many implications for this move, none more pressing than the future of this show.
Throughout McAfee’s video, he indicates that the show is not going to change at all and that he and his team will continue to have full control.
He and his team tend to swear a lot during this show, something that is generally frowned upon on TV, especially on ESPN.
During this announcement, he did say that they will try to omit the “F” word from their show, but all other words were still on the table.
Another aspect of this announcement was the platforms that his show will exist on, which include ESPN, ESPN+, and the ESPN YouTube channel.
McAfee has maintained the fact that his show will remain free, accessible for all who wish to watch him.
While this move will not happen for a few months, now that it’s out in the open, McAfee and the crew will have time to plan accordingly.
