  • 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.

They welcome in Week 1 with the Titans vs. Broncos confrontation at 4:05 PM ET.

Joining Albert in the booth is Super Bowl champion and Pro Bowl linebacker Jonathan Vilma, who teams with Albert for the sixth consecutive season. To complete this team, sideline reporter Megan Olivi patrols the sidelines for her second full season (both being with Albert & Vilma).

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.

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".

| Monday, August 4, 2025

This week's "MLB on Fox: On Deck" highlights include:
  • Following a brief break to nationally televise last weekend's Speedway Classic between the Braves and Reds from Bristol, Tennessee, Fox returns to their traditional Saturday night regional coverage with a pair of matchups that impact the playoff picture — Chicago Cubs vs. St. Louis Cardinals or Philadelphia Phillies vs. Texas Rangers — with live coverage for both matchups beginning Saturday, August 9 at 7:00 PM (ET) on Fox.
  • Phillies Visit Rangers In An Interleague Showdown: Bryce Harper and the NL East-leading Philadelphia Phillies continue their drive for the postseason against Corey Seager and the Texas Rangers in this interleague game from Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas — Saturday, August 9 at 7:00 PM (ET) on Fox.
  • Divisional Duel In St. Louis ⸺ Cubs vs. Cardinals: Two longtime foes from the National League Central get together again as Carson Kelly and the Chicago Cubs travel to Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri, to meet Masyn Winn and the St. Louis Cardinals — Saturday, August 9 at 7:00 PM (ET) on Fox.

Hey, everyone! It is so good to be back with you all following a rare week off from our MLB on Fox: On Deck article series. This Saturday (August 9), Fox continues their live coverage of the 2025 Major League Baseball season with another installment of "Baseball Night in America", starting at 7:00 PM (ET). Two games are on Fox's docket this week — Phillies vs. Rangers and Cubs vs. Cardinals. Which game will you be receiving, and who's set to be on the call? Please continue this week's MLB on Fox: On Deck article for the answers that you are requesting.

"Baseball Night in America" goes to "The Gateway to the West", St. Louis, Missouri, for a National League Central clash as Pete Crow-Armstrong and the Chicago Cubs battle Victor Scott II and the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday, August 9, at 7:00 PM (ET) on Fox. These bitter rivals are matching up for the third time this season. The Cubs have won 4 of 7 games against the Cardinals this season. With both teams in the playoff hunt, this is a crucial series for both sides. Recently, the Cubs obtained a series victory vs. the Orioles. Chicago is looking to keep pace with Christian Yelich and the scorching-hot Milwaukee Brewers for first place in the National League Central. Meanwhile, St. Louis has crumbled to open up the second half of the regular season, dropping 11 of 17 games. The Cardinals have to get back on track with this division series vs. the Cubs. Pete Crow-Armstrong and Seiya Suzuki are blasting home runs for the Cubs. 34-year-old Cubs starting pitcher Matthew Boyd is having a fine season for Chicago, recording 11 wins in 22 starts thus far. Cardinals first baseman Willson Contreras is the lone player on the team to pound in at least 60 runs. Cardinals starting pitcher Sonny Gray leads the pitching staff with wins (10) and strikeouts (141). 🎙 Jason Benetti (play-by-play) joins Hall of Famer John Smoltz (analyst) for Cubs vs. Cardinals live from Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri.

We will be watching an interleague showdown that has tons of intrigue behind it as Edmundo Sosa and the Philadelphia Phillies hit the road for a matchup against Josh Jung and the Texas Rangers on Saturday, August 9, at 7:00 PM (ET) on Fox. Of course, since these two teams play in different leagues, it is rare to see the Phillies & Rangers play. But this weekend, these clubs will battle it out from Globe Life Field in Arlington, with both teams having their eyes 👁 on the postseason. Last year, the Phillies swept the Rangers in a three-game series at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. Both teams have been a heater since the July All-Star Break, each going 11-6 in 17 second-half MLB games. Kyle Schwarber is having an outstanding season for the Phillies. Schwarber has mashed 40 home runs, driven in 94 runs, and has an on-base percentage of .382. The Rangers are playing with immense confidence right now, as the team has revived hopes of a potential playoff run with a remarkable stretch of play in recent weeks. Adolis GarciaMarcus Semien, and Josh Jung are clobbering home runs. 37-year-old Jacob deGrom is experiencing a career resurgence in 2025, with a 10-4 record in 22 starts. 🎙 Multi-sport play-by-play commentator Kenny Albert teams up with 2005 World Series champion AJ Pierzynski for Phillies vs. Rangers live from Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.
