National Championship Megacast Info.
  • ESPN’s Sixth National Championship MegaCast
    ESPN’s MegaCast production includes eight additional presentations across its television networks and six more offerings available on the ESPN App to complete the MegaCast. Field Pass (ESPN2), Command Center (ESPNEWS), DataCenter (Goal Line), Sounds of the Game (ESPN Classic), the Spanish-language telecast (ESPN Deportes) and Hometown Radio (ACC Network and SEC Network) remain staples of the MegaCast, while Coaches Film Room (ESPNU) returns. The debut of Refcast – an option that allows viewers to watch the game through former referees’ perspective — highlights the ESPN App selections, with the All-22 viewing angle, Skycast and Techcast also available digitally.

    New this year, two MegaCast feeds – Field Pass and Skycam viewing angle – will be available in 4K courtesy of Samsung QLED.

    • Field Pass on ESPN2
      Free-flowing commentary of the game, anchored by Adam Amin and Steve Levy, who will roam the sidelines of the Superdome. Multiple guests will join Amin and Levy throughout the telecast, including college football analysts Pat McAfee and Dan Orlovsky. Field Pass will once again be offered as an alternate pregame show, also on ESPN2. Thanks to Samsung QLED, Field Pass will be available in 4K on DIRECTV, Comcast and Altice.
    • Coaches Film Room on ESPNU
      Follow every play of LSU-Clemson through the minds of those who live and breathe the game every day. Participating coaches will be announced later this week
    • Command Center on ESPNEWS
      Multi-angle presentation, which includes up to four different vantage points at any one time, with statistics and real-time drive charts supplementing the game action.
    • DataCenter on Goal Line
      A catch-all viewing option, as ESPN’s main telecast will be surrounded by real-time stats, analytics, social media commentary and player information.
    • Hometown Radio on ACC Network and SEC Network
      ACC Network has the Clemson Radio call and SEC Network has the LSU Radio call, as both networks pair the hometown audio with the ESPN main telecast. This MegaCast feed is presented in conjunction with Clemson Tigers Network powered by JMI Sports and LSU Sports Radio Network.
      • Clemson (ACC Network): Don Munson, Tim Bourret, Brad Scott, and Reggie Merriweather
      • LSU (SEC Network): Chris Blair, Doug Moreau and Gordy Rush
    Full details regarding ACC Network and SEC Network’s on-site coverage in New Orleans will be announced in the coming days.

    • Sounds of the Game on ESPN Classic
      Allows viewers to imagine themselves inside the Superdome, as the game presentation will feature all the natural audio from the stadium, including the band performances.
    • Refcast on ESPN App
      A Bristol-based production where John Parry (former NFL referee), Matt Austin (former SEC referee) and Judson Howard (Pac-12 replay official) provide reaction and commentary from a referee’s perspective. An additional referee may be added to the presentation.
    • Skycast on ESPN App
      The popular view from above the action and behind the offense on most plays. New this year, replays will be shown regularly throughout the presentation.
      • Similar to Field Pass, the Skycam viewing option will also be available in 4K thanks to Samsung QLED
    • All-22 on ESPN App
      Watch the game the same way players and coaches study film, with a vantage point high above the field of play. The angle allows for the 22 players on the field to be seen at all times, providing the ability to distinguish how plays develop.
    • Techcast on ESPN App
      An array of ESPN camera angles all on one screen, as viewers can enjoy as many as 12 angles of game play simultaneously.
    ESPN Radio: Sean McDonough, Todd Blackledge, Holly Rowe and Ian Fitzsimmons
    Sean McDonough calls his fourth CFP National Championship on ESPN Radio, joining analyst Todd Blackledge and reporters Holly Rowe (LSU) and Ian Fitzsimmons (Clemson). Blackledge and Rowe have called the CFP National Championship all six years on the platform, while Fitzsimmons works his fourth consecutive CFP National Championship.

    ESPN Deportes Provides Spanish-Language Call

    ESPN’s Invention Extends to Social Media
