One comedian. One broadcast booth. One decision nobody saw coming. Miller Night Football revisits the unforgettable moment Monday Night Football put comedian Dennis Miller behind the microphone and changed the sound of football television.

The documentary looks back at the surprising experiment that paired Miller’s rapid-fire comedy and obscure references with one of television’s biggest sports institutions. What followed became one of the most unusual chapters in Monday Night Football history.

Miller Night Football premieres September 29, 2026 on HBO Max.
