SportsCenter Anchor

Television sports veteran Elle Duncan joined ESPN as an anchor for SportsCenter, the network’s signature news and information program in May of 2016. In March of 2021, she moved to the 6 p.m. show with Kevin Negandhi.

In addition to her work on SportsCenter, Duncan is a co-host of her semiweekly YouTube show and podcast “The Elle Duncan Show” which focuses on discussing and reacting to the week’s most significant sports and culture headlines. Duncan also serves as the women’s college basketball host for ESPN’s College GameDay and also hosts WNBA Countdown studio coverage throughout the season.

Duncan hosted the fan favorite studio coverage during the 2024 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament, alongside Chiney Oqwumike and Andraya Carter. During the NCAA Women’s Final Four Special, Duncan was joined by Ogwumike, Carter, Carolyn Peck and Alyiah Boston as the show received rave reviews nationally for the insight and analysis the group brought. The Championship’s pre-game show scored 2.9 million viewers as a lead-in to see the Gamecocks take on the Hawkeyes.

For two years prior to joining ESPN, Duncan was an anchor, host and reporter for the New England Sports Network (NESN) in Boston, most recently hosting the daily NESN Live and NESN Sports Today programs.

Prior to joining NESN in early 2014, the Atlanta native worked in a number of on-air positions in her home city on both television and radio, including as a sports anchor and reporter for WXIA-TV, Atlanta’s NBC-TV affiliate, from 2012-2014. She was a sideline reporter for the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks for six years and a field reporter for Comcast Sports South on SEC and ACC football for two years.

Duncan started her broadcasting career in 2003 as an entertainment reporter for former Atlanta sports radio station 790 the Zone, then in 2005 began a seven-year career as an on-air personality with Atlanta hip-hop station V103 where she hosted a top-rated program. She expanded her radio work as co-host of pre-game, halftime and post-game shows for the Atlanta Falcons Radio Network in 2010-2011.
