- Fox NFL Sunday's Legendary Run Continues: For the 32nd consecutive season, the top pregame show in America — "Fox NFL Sunday" — serves the pregame finale before live game coverage begins. (Sundays, 12:00 PM ET to 1:00 PM ET on Fox).
- A New Era for Fox NFL Kickoff: "Fox NFL Kickoff" gets a fresh start in 2025, broadcasting from a brand-new studio featuring XR/AR technology.
With about a month remaining before the regular season begins, Fox revealed their on-air lineup for the upcoming 2025 season. This marks Fox's 32nd season broadcasting NFL games. Including game and studio coverage, the "NFL on Fox" features a group of respected commentators, Pro Football Hall of Famers who share their unique insights, and beloved former athletes transitioning to broadcasting — whether sitting in the studio or analyzing the action during live games.
Additionally, this lineup of talent has extensive experience working on NFL games in various roles. The acclaimed "NFL on Fox" commentator roster influences the football conversation each week during the season. The 2025 NFL on Fox broadcast team presentation was delivered on Friday by Brad Zager, President of Production & Operations and Executive Producer of FOX Sports.
Game Crews:
1. Kevin Burkhardt, Tom Brady, Erin Andrews, & Tom Rinaldi
In the aftermath of Super Bowl LIX in February, which shattered the previous viewership record, the NFL on Fox is thrilled to announce the lead commentary team, featuring highly respected and award-winning play-by-play commentator Kevin Burkhardt and game analyst and seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady, will reunite for their second year in the booth.
They will once again be joined by sideline reporters Erin Andrews, the first female sportscaster to receive the Pat Summerall Award, and Tom Rinaldi, whose exceptional work has earned him 17 Sports Emmy Awards. This team will broadcast Fox's marquee regular season and playoff NFL telecasts.
Their first game assignment this season will feature an NFC East matchup as Burkhardt, Brady, Andrews, and Rinaldi travel to Northwest Stadium in Week 1 on Sunday, September 7, to cover the game where Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders host Kayvon Thibodeaux and the New York Giants at 1:00 PM ET. In Week 2, on Sunday, September 14, at 4:25 PM ET, they will head to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City for a highly anticipated Super Bowl LIX rematch, where Saquon Barkley and the defending Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles, will visit Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in the first installment of "America's Game of the Week" this year. In Week 3, on Sunday, September 21, at 4:25 PM ET, this team will head to the Windy City for another "America's Game of the Week", showcasing an NFC matchup between Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys against Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears.

Kevin Kugler marks his sixth consecutive NFL on Fox season as a play-by-play man in 2025, working alongside three-time Super Bowl champion and two-time Pro Bowler Daryl "Moose" Johnston once again, as Johnston rings in his 25th season as an NFL on Fox game analyst. Established reporter Allison Williams, who first joined FOX Sports in 2022 as a sideline reporter & host, marks her move to the NFL for the first time, joining the Kugler/Johnston duo as a reporter. The announcing team will be at Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland in Week 1, as 2023 Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett and the Cleveland Browns tangle with 2024 Triple Crown King Ja'Marr Chase and the visiting Cincinnati Bengals at 1:00 PM ET. The following week, Kugler, Johnston, & Williams will handle the 49ers vs. Saints game on Sunday, September 14 at 1:00 PM ET.

NFL on Fox Rules Analysts:
The NFL on Fox is pleased to name Dean Blandino and Mike Pereira as rules analysts for the 2025 NFL Season. Pereira and Blandino combine to work every NFL on Fox game in 2025, contributing their expertise on some of the biggest calls every Sunday afternoon. Pereira brings two decades of football officiating experience to his 15th season on Fox after nearly 30 years of officiating experiences across the NFL and college football. Blandino's role with FOX Sports started back in 2017, on the heels of a 18-year career with the National Football League that saw Dean spend four seasons as the Vice President of Officiating.
Critically Acclaimed Studio Programming:
- "Fox NFL Kickoff" (Sundays, 11:00 AM ET to 12:00 PM ET on Fox)
Beginning lucky year #13, "Fox NFL Kickoff" will be televised on Fox every Sunday morning from 11:00 AM ET to 12:00 PM ET during the regular season. Charissa Thompson again serves as the host alongside Pro Football Hall of Famer and Super Bowl champion Charles Woodson, three-time Super Bowl champion Julian Edelman, and longtime sports media personality Colin Cowherd. Cooper Manning will contribute segments to the program on a regular basis.
This season, "Fox NFL Kickoff" receives a brand-new studio facility, employing the revoluntary XR/AR techonlogy currently used for "Fox NFL Sunday". The new set contains more than 54 million LED lights and features eight tracked cameras and 40 real-time render engines driving the set. The design's photorealistic enviroment enables FOX Sports to transform the set backdrop to mimic the visuals of any stadium in the NFL, affording endless opportunites for storytelling and analysis.
- "Fox NFL Sunday" (Sundays, 12:00 PM ET to 1:00 PM ET on Fox)
"Fox NFL Sunday", the first-class pregame show and the #1 pregame program in America for 31 consecutive years, once again airs on Sundays from 12:00 PM ET to 1:00 PM ET. This program is bolstered with the inclusion of several Pro Football Hall of Famer as studio analysts. Veteran broadcaster Curt Menefee once again shares the hosting duties with Pro Football Hall of Famer and four-time Super Bowl champion Terry Bradshaw. Accompanying them at the main desk are Pro Football Hall of Famers Howie Long and Michael Strahan, with four-time Super Bowl champion Rob Gronkowski joining the "Fox NFL Sunday" team full-time. NFL on Fox insider Jay Glazer rounds out the cast, providing news and information from around the league in a format that only Glazer can successfully pull off. I should mention that Bradshaw and Long are the only remaning cast members from the show's 1994 debut.
The show and the entire cast were rightfully inducted into the National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 2019 — the only sports show to have this honor. In addition, Fox NFL Sunday received the 2022 Sports Emmy for "Outstanding Studio Show — Weekly" and "The George Wensel Techinical Achievement Award".
