What channel is Arch Manning on tonight? How to watch the high school QB phenom

Arch Manning is the third generation of Mannings to have his football games broadcast on national television.

His grandfather, Archie Manning, played quarterback at Ole Miss and was featured in the first national broadcast of a college football game in 1969. Then, 25 years after that, his son Peyton Manning made his broadcast debut while quarterback at Tennessee. Then, 26 years later, Archie’s grandson Arch made his debut on national television when he was shown on ESPN2 in 2020 playing high school football as a sophomore.

The high school football phenom will return to national television Friday, Oct. 22. Here’s how you can tune in.

Who is Arch Manning?

Arch Manning is one of the class of 2023 No. 1 football recruits. He is the son of Cooper Manning, meaning his uncles are Peyton and Eli, and his grandfather is Archie. 

The 16-year-old is a junior at Isidore Newman High School in New Orleans. His father and uncles attended the same high school. 

Arch hasn’t decided where he’s going to college, but he has a lot of offers. Alabama, Georgia, Clemson, Texas, Tennessee (where Peyton went) and Mississippi (where Eli and Archie went) have offered Arch a spot on their teams once he graduates. He’s been visiting the schools this year, along with attending some of their football games.
