ESPN plans to hit the mute button on “Around the Horn.”

The show’s legendary run of more than two decades will conclude in the summer of 2025, sources told The Post.

The Post previously reported that the show’s cancellation was under consideration by company brass.

Around the Horn.“Around the Horn” will soon be ending.

An ESPN spokesperson declined to comment.

“Around the Horn” launched in 2002, hosted by Max Kellerman, as the “show that scored the argument,” pitting sportswriters from across the country against each other for who had the best takes on the stories of the day.

Tony Reali took over for Kellerman in 2004 when Kellerman left to host a show on the now-defunct Fox Sports Net, and has been at the helm ever since.

 

Since its inception, “Around the Horn” has been paired with “Pardon the Interruption” in the “Happy Hour” from 5-6 p.m. ET, and the shows have gotten great ratings throughout their tenures.

“PTI” creator and executive producer Erik Rydholm has also overseen “Around the Horn” since Reali became host in 2004.

One source said that ESPN and Rydholm’s team will discuss new concepts to replace “Around the Horn” in the time slot.

Sports journalists Tony Reali and Tim Cowlishaw attend ESPN The Party at Basketball City - Pier 36 - South Street on January 31, 2014 in New York City.

The mainstay panelists on “Around the Horn” over the years have included Bob Ryan, Woody Paige, Tim Cowlishaw, Kevin Blackistone, J.A. Adande and Bill Plaschke with myriad others joining the show, including Jemele Hill, Pablo Torre, Bomani Jones and Ramona Shelburne.

The show, which for years has been produced by Aaron Solomon, will have a well-deserved victory lap in the coming months.
