 More about Landa, Martinez-Christensen, and Acosta

Landa made her MNF play-by-play debut in 2022 when she called the Buffalo Bills-Tennessee Titans season opener and officially became the Spanish-language voice of MNF last season, becoming the first woman to call a full season of NFL on Spanish-language television in the U.S. She joined ESPN in 2017 as a host for NFL Live and quickly became a staple voice for ESPN Deportes’ NFL coverage. Landa is also a defensive player for the Mexican Women’s National Flag Football team, a role she has held since 2018. In 2022 and 2024, she helped her team clinch the gold and silver medals, respectively, at the World Games.

Martinez-Christensen joined ESPN in 2003 and has since become a versatile reporter and analyst, covering a wide variety of sports including NFL, NBA, NCAA Basketball, soccer, and tennis. He has been covering the NFL for over 20 years as a studio analyst and reporter.

Acosta-Ruiz is the new sideline reporter. She recently made her ESPN debut in August during ESPN Deportes’ telecast of the NFL’s preseason Hall of Fame game. Since then, she has also regularly anchored ESPN SportsCenter editions originating from Los Angeles. She joined NFL Network in 2018 from NBC and Telemundo in San Diego, where she covered the Chargers, Padres, and international soccer as the lead sports anchor. The bilingual journalist and analyst became the first Afro-Latina to host a show on NFL Network when she was named the host of NFL Total Access in 2020.

Sutcliffe, whose flair and unique reporting style have enlivened ESPN’s Spanish-language NFL telecasts for 20 years, will continue contributing to ESPN Deportes’ onsite coverage, bringing his insider knowledge and popular post-game interviews to each telecast.

Castorena, one of ESPN Deportes’ most versatile reporters, will occasionally fill in as an onsite reporter. Since joining ESPN in 2014, Castorena has covered other major sports events for the network including Mexican First Division Soccer, NBA, and MLB.
