He revealed in a statement on Monday he will be leaving his role this October.
It is his second stint with ESPN following a spell at Fox Sports.
He works as a general assignment bureau reporter with the Worldwide Leader.
Harvey joined them in 2021 after initially being with the network between 2013 and 2019.
The broadcast star revealed a mix of emotions over the exit, including how he was “hurt”.
“After two remarkable runs at the network, I’ll once again be charting a different course come October,” he said on X.
“What will it look like this time? Right now, I’m not sure.
“For the first time since college, I’m a full-fledged free agent.
“Transparently, my emotions have run the gamut the past several weeks.
“There’s been hurt, disappointment, joy, genuine happiness, the highest optimism and excitement for what’s to come.
“Biting doubt about my ability to still thrive in a murky industry that for years has cornered the market on uncertainty.
“Just being real. Beyond all of that, though, the overarching emotion I’ve felt is gratitude.”
Harvey made regular appearances on the 6pm version of SportsCenter.
He also provided content for ESPN.com and their digital platforms.
