The 2024 NFL season kicked off on Thursday night with the Chiefs beating the Ravens by a toe (literally), as NBC got the league’s first broadcast of the year underway with Mike Tirico, Cris Collinsworth, and Melissa Stark on the call from Kansas City.
While we didn’t see any major changes to the three primetime announce teams this season, there is one massive addition to the world of NFL broadcasting this year, as Tom Brady makes his long-awaited debut in the booth for FOX on Sunday afternoon when the Cowboys take on the Browns. Along with Brady’s addition, there are some shakeups to booth pairings at both FOX and CBS down the line, and on the studio side, both CBS and ESPN shuffled their pregame show lineups. Here, you can find the announce teams and studio show crews for each major network, as we get ready for another season of NFL action.
FOX
Brady’s arrival at FOX is the biggest news in the world of football broadcasting in some time, and he’ll join Kevin Burkhardt in the top booth, with Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi on sidelines. That also shuffled the rest of the FOX crews, as Greg Olsen moved back to the No. 2 booth with Joe Davis and Pam Oliver, setting off a domino effect down the line. The studio crew, however, remains unchanged as FOX NFL Sunday remains the gold standard for NFL pregame shows.
