Episode 1 of the latest season of Peyton’s Places is now available exclusively on ESPN+. Peyton Manning returns to host a third season of the popular and Emmy-nominated football-themed docuseries, which features Manning exploring football’s history and cultural impact through conversations with players, coaches, and other key figures. The first episode of the season is available now on ESPN+.
Since the debut of the first season, Places has been expanded into a franchise, with various other sport centric shows joining the Places universe including Eli’s Places (college football), Abby’s Places (soccer), Rowdy’s Places (competitive fighting), Big Papi’s Places (baseball), and Vince’s Places (basketball), as well as the upcoming McEnroe’s Places (tennis), P.K.’s Places (hockey), and Sue’s Places (college basketball). The 100th episode in the franchise, a Halloween special called Peyton & Eli’s Spooky Adventure, will also air on ESPN2 this evening following the Manningcast.
