BREAKING: ESPN Has Reportedly Finally Made Decision About Jason Kelce’s Future
**Bristol, CT, February 28, 2026** — ESPN has reached a final decision regarding former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce’s broadcasting future, confirming no second season for his late-night talk show “They Call It Late Night with Jason Kelce.”
According to multiple reports, including from Awful Announcing, the network and Kelce mutually agreed to end the program after its debut run struggled with ratings and viewership. Kelce, who retired from the NFL in 2024 and joined ESPN as an analyst, opted not to pursue another season to explore other creative opportunities during the offseason and prioritize family time.
While the late-night series will not return in 2026, ESPN emphasized that its partnership with Kelce remains strong. He will continue as a featured analyst on *Monday Night Countdown* during the NFL season and take on select one-off assignments, including recent roles as a correspondent for the NHL Stadium Series and special guest commentator for the TGL golf league’s regular season finale on ESPN platforms.
The decision comes as Kelce expands his media presence beyond weekly commitments, with ESPN supportive of future collaborations on various projects. No further details on potential new ventures have been announced.
Kelce has not commented publicly on the move, but sources indicate the choice aligns with his desire for flexibility after a successful transition to broadcasting.
