The first of the two films will be entitled 'The Ice Bowl' and is to be made in association with NFL Films.
Explained John Collins, NFL senior vice president: "The NFL is embedded in American culture, providing memorable moments that transcend sports. We look forward to working with ESPN to deliver great movies."
The tie-up is part of the NFL's wider strategy of adding additional revenue streams to its business.
ESPN is to collaborate with the National Football League (NFL) to create two made-for-TV movies as part of a multi-year development agreement.
