As the 2022 NFL season opening game between the Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Rams is now one month away, FOX Sports has now officially unveiled their NFL broadcast lineup for the 2022 NFL season. FOX will enter their 29th NFL season in 2022, after beginning their NFL coverage back in 1994.
FOX's NFL broadcasting lineup for this upcoming year has many familiar voices that FOX viewers are used to like Kenny Albert, Kevin Burkhardt, Mark Schlereth, Daryl "Moose" Johnston, Jen Hale, Kristina Pink, Erin Andrews, Tom Rinaldi, and much more. In addition to these names, a new face like Robert Smith (who previously worked on FOX's college football coverage) will start his NFL game analyst duties this season on a full-time basis.
FOX's NFL lineup for the 2022 NFL season is pretty massive, with a Ravens/Cardinals preseason game later this month, 18 weeks of regular season coverage, two NFC Wild Card playoff games, two NFC Divisional playoff games, the NFC Championship Game, and finally culminating with Super Bowl LVII from State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona on Sunday, February 12, 2023.
