Donna Kelce announced the gig on Instagram, noting that ESPN will rotate on-air guests from the ice-level “Best Seat in the House,” with cameras on all sides and aerial coverage. The assignment marks a notable cross-sport moment for the former Eagles center.
Kelce last played in the NFL on January 15, 2024, in the Eagles’ Wild Card loss to the Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium. The upcoming NHL appearance continues his long-running passion for hockey, a sport he has followed since high school when he notched 21 goals and 15 assists at Cleveland Heights.
Beyond his on-air duties, Kelce remains a fixture in ESPN’s football programming, including the Monday Night Countdown pregame show, and co-founded the No. Heights podcast with his brother, Travis. His career off the field already spans broadcasting, media presence, and entrepreneurial ventures.
Kelce and Travis Kelce are co-authors of the forthcoming book No Dumb Questions, set for release June 2, 2026 via William Morrow/HarperCollins, with preorders underway. The book will feature exclusive content such as pictures and illustrations and will draw from their No Dumb Questions segments on New Heights.
The project also includes an online retail collaboration with Amazon through Kelce Clubhouse (KelceClubhouse.com), offering preorder access for No Dumb Questions and exclusive New Heights merchandise. The combination of broadcasting, publishing, and fan-focused ventures signals a broad, multi-faceted post-football career for Jason Kelce.
