Conception and development

In April 2026, it was reported that The Walt Disney Company had ordered a new sports-themed spin-off of game show Jeopardy! to air on streaming services Disney+ and Hulu.[1] Joe Buck, who currently serves as the lead NFL play-by-play announcer for ESPN, agreed to a deal to serve as the host for ESPN Jeopardy!. Buck had briefly served as a guest host for Jeopardy! in 2021 following longtime host Alex Trebek's death.[3]
This is the second sports-themed spinoff of Jeopardy!, after Sports Jeopardy! which was produced from 2014 to 2016. Unlike that version, which had civilian contestants, only existing sports personalities, mostly from ESPN, will take part in ESPN Jeopardy!.[2]
During a podcast interview with Tim Kurkjian, Buck indicated that the show would follow the one-hour Celebrity Jeopardy! format, including the Triple Jeopardy round.[2]
