Tom Brady is gearing up for his debut as a broadcaster with FOX Sports on Sunday, September 8, 2024. The NFL legend will be featured as the lead color commentator during the Week 1 matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Cleveland Browns.
Despite his pending ownership stake in the Las Vegas Raiders, Brady is excited to showcase his passion for football.
Although potential restrictions related to his Raiders ownership might limit certain aspects of his broadcasting duties, such as attending team practices and production meetings, Brady is prepared for the challenge.
He recently signed a lucrative 10-year, $375 million contract with FOX Sports, taking over the role from Greg Olsen.
Fans can catch Brady’s broadcasting debut on FOX, either on their local FOX station or by streaming it live on FOXSports.com or through the FOX Sports App.
Before the game kicks off, viewers can tune in to FOX NFL Sunday for pre-game analysis and interviews with key players and coaches.
During the game, Brady will be working alongside Kevin Burkhardt, FOX’s lead NFL play-by-play announcer. Burkhardt will handle the play-by-play duties while Brady provides color commentary, offering analysis and insights into the game.
Burkhardt is a well-known sports broadcaster, having worked with FOX since 2013 and gaining recognition for his work with the New York Mets broadcasts on SportsNet New York (SNY).
ESPN’s Adam Schefter shared his thoughts on Brady’s career change, expressing excitement to see the NFL legend bring his unique perspective to the broadcast booth.
