The NFL: Simulation Series logo. (Tamir Moore/Canva)
Thursday, July 31, 2025 (originally uploaded on Friday, January 5, 2024)
The following is a listing of game commentators who 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 primarily broadcasts NFC games, but also includes some AFC-NFC and AFC-AFC matchups. CBS Sports mainly airs AFC games, while featuring a selection of NFC-NFC and NFC-AFC games as well. NBC Sports showcases a weekly Sunday Night Football game, along with select games on Opening Night and Thanksgiving. ESPN/ABC is responsible for a weekly Monday Night Football game, which includes five doubleheaders each season, shared between the two networks. The NFL Network airs select games from international locations and some late-season Saturday games.
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 airs 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).
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.
