NFL: Simulation Series | List of Game Commentators by Network (CBS, FOX, NFL Network, NBC, etc.) | 2002-present

The NFL: Simulation Series logo. (Tamir Moore/Canva)

The following is a listing of game commentators that have worked games for the NFL: Simulation Series since the series' began back during the 2002 season.

This page will keep track of announcers for FOX Sports, CBS Sports, NBC Sports, ESPN/ESPN on ABC, and the NFL Network during each and every NFL season.

FOX Sports carries mostly NFC telecasts, with select AFC-AFC and AFC-NFC telecasts mixed in. CBS Sports carries mostly AFC telecasts, with select NFC-NFC and NFC-AFC telecasts mixed in. NBC Sports carries a weekly Sunday Night Football game, in addition to select games on Opening Night and Thanksgiving. ESPN/ABC carries a weekly Monday Night Football game, in three doubleheaders per season, split between the two networks. The NFL Network carries select games from International sites and some late-season Saturday action.

For FOX and CBS, up to eight crews will be listed (including full-time and part-time broadcast teams). For ABC/ESPN, two teams will be listed (since ABC/ESPN air select MNF doubleheaders). For Prime Video, only one crew will be listed since that team is responsible for all of the "Thursday Night Football" broadcasters. For NBC, two crews will be listed (the "Sunday Night Football" crew handles most of the broadcasts while the #2 team handles select games, including a Wild Card playoff game).

Notable commentators include Al Michaels, Kevin Burkhardt, Joe Buck, Chris Fowler, Kenny Albert, Adam Amin, Mike Tirico, Jim Nantz, Ian Eagle, Kevin Harlan, Spero Dedes, Andrew Catalon, and much more!

The play-by-play commentator will be listed first, followed by color commentator or color commentators (if multiple are used), with any sideline reporter or sideline reporters being listed last.
