The Pat McAfee Show
The Pat McAfee Show is a three-hour daily sports talk show hosted by sports commentator and former National Football League player Pat McAfee.
Premiering on September 9, 2019, the program was originally distributed by DAZN and via Westwood One radio. The show currently airs on ESPN, ESPN+, ESPN's YouTube channel, and McAfee's own YouTube channel. Only the first two hours air on ESPN; the final hour airs exclusively on ESPN+ and YouTube.
Before hosting the program now known as The Pat McAfee Show, Pat launched an audio and video podcast of the same name on February 17, 2017 in a partnership with Barstool Sports. Episodes were broadcast live on Facebook and YouTube during this partnership. The original co-hosts of the program were Anthony DiGuilio, Todd McComas, Jason McAfee and Nick Maraldo. The program was known for its "r-rated" form of comedy, which was unusual for high profile sports podcasts at the time. The podcast was eventually broadcast on the Sirius XM station Barstool Power 85 weekdays from 10 AM to 1 PM, until the show ended following Pat's split with Barstool in 2018.
Following the split with Barstool Sports, Pat McAfee launched a podcast network called Pat McAfee Inc., which included several programs such as The Pat McAfee Show 2.0, That's Hockey Talk, Heartland Radio 2.0, and Good Bettor Bets. The Pat McAfee Show 2.0, also known as "PMS 2.0", was a new podcast that featured the same cohosts and served as a continuation of the original podcast, but was produced independently at the start. He continued to net high-profile guests such as Aaron Rodgers on the new program, and made his television commentating debut on New Year's Eve of 2018.
The Pat McAfee Show, a new program with the same name as Pat McAfee's prior podcast, premiered on September 9, 2019, as part of a multi-year deal between McAfee, DAZN, and Westwood One; DAZN would distribute the channel via its subscription sports streaming service, while Westwood One would syndicate an audio simulcast, with clearances in 40 markets at launch. The only major format change from the podcast to the radio and television program would be that Pat McAfee would need to use explicit language less frequently, in order to comply with FCC regulations. As part of the agreement, McAfee would also produce on-site broadcasts from the locations of boxing and mixed martial arts events being broadcast by DAZN, and also contribute NFL content for DAZN in markets (such as Canada and Germany) where it held streaming rights to the league. It was reported that McAfee was being courted by ESPN as a home for the show (having recently joined ESPN's Get Up! and college football coverage as a contributor), but that DAZN offered him more flexibility.
In January 2020, the radio simulcast moved to the national lineup of CBS Sports Radio. In May 2020, the program's contract with DAZN ended, with its video version moving to YouTube. On September 8, 2020, The Pat McAfee Show moved to Sirius XM's Mad Dog Sports Radio. It also moved from 10 a.m.–12 p.m. ET to a 12–3 p.m. time slot. The show continued to be broadcast live on YouTube. On December 9, 2021, McAfee announced a four-year, $120 million deal with FanDuel, making them the sole odds provider for the Pat McAfee Show. The deal also included the creation of a new studio space in Indianapolis called the "FanDuel Igloo", also known as the "Thunderdome". In August 2022, the show left Sirius XM after the company didn't make an offer for a contract extension. However, the program continued broadcasting on YouTube and as an audio podcast, effectively replacing PMS 2.0 (although the audio version of the program continues to brand the episodes as "PMS 2.0").
On September 7, 2023, The Pat McAfee Show moved to ESPN as part of a deal with the network; it was reported to be valued at $85 million over five years. The new program simulcasts the podcast for two hours on ESPN, while ESPN's YouTube channel and ESPN+ stream the entirety of the podcast. The broadcast on ESPN is carried on a slight broadcast delay in order to allow some of its profane language to be censored. It was also announced that the program would occasionally broadcast Friday editions from the site of that week's edition of College GameDay—which McAfee joined as a panelist in 2022.—during college football season. The show had already been involved in altcasts for selected ESPN College Football games with Omaha Productions, including CFB Primetime with The Pat McAfee Show (which aired from his studio during selected Saturday prime time games), and Field Pass with The Pat McAfee Show during the College Football Playoff.
In March 2024, the show similarly traveled to Iowa City for the first round of the 2024 NCAA women's basketball tournament, following the Iowa Hawkeyes and star player Caitlin Clark.
