VICE SPORTS TEAMS WITH PEYTON MANNING'S OMAHA PRODUCTIONS, IN ASSOCIATION WITH NFL FILMS, TO PRODUCE "THE NFL PLAYBACK" (WT)

New Series Revisits Classic NFL Games with Commentary From Star Players and Celebrity Guests

New Primetime Series Premieres on VICE TV This September

NEW YORK (April 23, 2025) - VICE Sports is teaming with Peyton Manning's Omaha Productions, in association with NFL Films, to produce THE NFL PLAYBACK (working title). The new series will offer a fresh take on some of the NFL's most remarkable games of recent memory, with commentary from stars who played in them and devoted celebrity fans who watched the games live. The series will premiere on VICE TV this September, airing six one-hour episodes on consecutive Wednesday nights.

Each episode of THE NFL PLAYBACK will feature actual NFL game footage from a legendary matchup, with picture-in-picture commentary from players representing both teams and celebrity fans. Each episode will offer never-before-heard tales delving into legendary moments, allowing fans to learn the real stories behind the history they remember. With the players who lived these games providing their own memories, fans are in for a tell-all experience, usually reserved only for the locker room.

The series marks the second collaboration between VICE Sports and Omaha Productions, following Calipari: Razor's Edge, the critically acclaimed six-part documentary chronicling John Calipari's first season as head coach of the Arkansas Razorbacks men's basketball team.

"Everyone at VICE Sports is excited to work closely with Omaha Productions, with help from NFL Films, to bring THE NFL PLAYBACK to football fans next season," said VICE TV President Pete Gaffney. "Football games are usually absent on Wednesdays, so it's the perfect night to offer fans something fresh and fun, and, having recently worked with Omaha on Razor's Edge, we know that they will produce each episode of THE NFL PLAYBACK to the highest standards possible."

"We're thrilled to partner with VICE Sports to create THE NFL PLAYBACK," said Peyton Manning. "This is a great way for fans to look back at unforgettable games and moments in NFL history."
