Peter Schrager, Kyle Brandt, Jason McCourty, Jane Slater and Tom Pelissero will co-host the specials.

The return of GMFB coincides with the dates of the NFL Draft, which is taking place in Detroit, Michigan, and will be simulcasted on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, and NFL Network starting at 8 p.m. ET.

GMFB ended its NYC era on March 29 with a touching tribute by Brandt on the show’s last day as production moves to the West Coast. Brandt acknowledged viewers’ concerns over the change and assured fans he would continue to be part of the show.

“I know you have questions because I’ve seen them. Why is this happening? Who’s going to LA? Why would you take something that you got so right and change it?” Brandt said on the March 29th broadcast. “Some of those answers, I don’t know. Some of them are not mine to give. And candidly, I have a lot of questions myself. Here’s what I know. I personally will be intensely involved in Good Morning Football moving forward. And I want to spend the rest of my career with the NFL. And Good Morning Football is not ending. It is expanding. And it’s exciting because it’s a bigger show. It’s more show.”
