2021 NFL on FOX Announcers

With the 2021 NFL season approaching us very fast, our friends over at FOX Sports has released their NFL announcing lineup for the upcoming season. The 2021 season will mark the 28th straight season that FOX has covered the NFL, since their inaugural season back in 1994.

FOX will again use several notable and familiar voices including Joe Buck, Kenny Albert and Chris Myers (all at play-by-play). Plus, FOX will bring in several new faces in the studio or covering games in the booth, like Greg Olsen (to be paired with Kevin Burkhardt), Charles Woodson (to be apart of the FOX NFL Kickoff pregame show) & Mark Sanchez (to be paired with Kevin Kugler).

Brad Zager, Executive Producer, Executive Vice President/Head of Production and Operations, of FOX Sports made the official announcement of the 2021 NFL on FOX broadcasting teams/studio teams.

Joe Buck, a 2020 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee and Emmy award play-by-play commentator, returns to work the play-by-play on the lead secondary team alongside longtime colleague and analyst Troy Aikman, a three-time Super Bowl champion and Hall of Fame quarterback. Buck and Aikman, who currently represents the NFL's longest tenured-duo, will work/celebrate their 20th season together for the 2021 season. Buck and Aikman, who have been working together since 2002 in some form, are the second longest NFL's longest tenured-duo, only trailing Pat Summerall and John Madden (the former No. 1 crew at FOX prior to Buck and Aikman's appoint following the 2001 season), who worked together for 21 NFL seasons (1981 to 2001). In addition, Mike Pereira, former NFL Vice President of Officiating, will work alongside the Buck/Aikman crew, providing viewers with in-depth analysis of most notable calls in games each week. Joining Buck and Aikman is sideline reporter Erin Andrews, who is the first women exclusively honored with the Pat Summerall Award.

2021 CFB on FOX/FS1/FS2 Schedule

First Class Slate of CFB Games this Fall includes Oregon @ Ohio State, Notre Dame vs. Wisconsin, Nebraska @ Oklahoma, Ohio State @ Michigan and More

"BIG NOON KICKOFF" Pregame Show Set to Visit College Campuses/Stadiums including: Ohio State, Oklahoma, Wisconsin and Chicago's Soldier Field

This fall, FOX Sports will once again boast a full slate of games to kick off your football watching weekend on Saturday afternoons! FOX has announced several games from their pickings, dealing with the 2021 college football schedule. FOX's schedule is a curation of game selections from the Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and Mountain West conferences. FOX's college football lineup begins each Saturday morning at 10:00 AM ET with the "BIG NOON KICKOFF" pregame show, with host Rob Stone, analyst Reggie Bush, analyst Matt Leinart, analyst Brady Quinn and newcomer analyst Bob Stoops. "BIG NOON SATURDAY", FOX's main college football game of the week then follows at 12:00 PM ET, with the crew of Gus Johnson (play-by-play), Joel Klatt (analyst) and Jenny Taft (SLR) reprising their roles to cover the action.

FOX's 2021 college football schedule is baked with the sport's most exciting non-conference games and well-liked rivalry games. In September, for instance, Oregon travels East to Columbus to play Ohio State in a non-conference game. This game, scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 11 at 12:00 PM ET, is apart of the Week 2 slate. In addition, "BIG NOON KICKOFF" is scheduled to have a pregame presence live at the Shoe, prior to the game. Oregon-Ohio State begins a big-time slate of sports on FOX that weekend, including Yankees at Mets on Saturday night and a NFL Week 1 doubleheader, including Packers at Saints or Broncos at Giants in America's Game of the Week, on Sunday afternoon.

The newest member of the CFB on FOX team, Bob Stoops, returns to Norman with the "BIG NOON KICKOFF" team in Week 3 as Oklahoma plays host to Big 12 rival Nebraska on Saturday, Sept. 18 at 12:00 PM ET. Wrapping up the opening month of the season, Notre Dame and Wisconsin will play at Chicago's Soldier Field on Saturday, Sept. 25 at 12:00 PM ET (Week 4). This year's meeting of the Fighting Irish and Badgers will be their first encounter in over 50 years.

Plus, the Big Ten is again in the spotlight for FOX's college football schedule. The Big Ten schedule kicks off on Thursday, Sept. 2 at 8:00 PM ET, as Ohio State visits Minnesota in a rare FOX midweek broadcast. Then, two days later, on Sept. 4, Penn State visits Wisconsin in the first "BIG NOON SATURDAY" telecast of the season. "BIG NOON KICKOFF" will be on-site in Minneapolis and Madision prior to these telecasts. Of course, the CFB season winds down with yet another installment of Ohio State and Michigan during Thanksgiving weekend, Saturday, Nov. 27 (Week 13) at 12:00 PM ET.

FOX's CFB regular season coverage wraps on Saturday, Dec. 4 (Week 14) with the Mountain West Championship and the Big Ten Championship games, both on FOX.

College football can be streamed/simulcasted through the FOX Sports app (regardless of what network is broadcasting the game: FOX and/or FS1).

2021 NBA Finals on ABC TV Schedule and Announcers

The 2021 NBA Finals are set to go now! This year's NBA Finals will feature Khris Middleton and the Eastern Conference champion Milwaukee Bucks and Devin Booker and the Western Conference Champion Phoenix Suns. The Bucks are in the NBA's championship round for the first time since 1974 (when they lost to Boston in 7 games), and seeking their first NBA championship since 1971. Meanwhile, the Suns are in the NBA Finals for the first time since 1993 (when they lost to Chicago in 6 games, as the Bulls completed the first of their two three-peats). The Suns are attempting to win their first NBA title in their third trip to the NBA Finals.

In order to make the 2021 NBA Finals, the No. 3 seed in the East, Bucks, defeated Miami in the first round 4-0. Then, Milwaukee defeated Brooklyn in the semifinals 4-3. Finally, the Bucks knocked off the Hawks 4-2 in the Eastern Conference Finals.

In order to make the 2021 NBA Finals, the No. 2 seed in the West, Suns, ousted the defending NBA Champion Lakers in the first round 4-2. Following that, the Suns swept Denver in the semifinals 4-0. In the Western Conference Finals, the Suns outlasted the Clippers 4-2.

Keep in mind that the Bucks and Suns were expansion cousins. This means that Milwaukee & Phoenix had their franchises begin in the 1968-69 season.

Of course, the Bucks & Suns were involved in a coin toss the 1969 NBA draft to pick first, which Milwaukee won (and selected UCLA center Lew Alcindor [now known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar]).

Once again, ABC will televise the NBA Finals. This year is the 19th straight year that ABC has televised the series.

The series will begin on Tuesday, July 6th as the Bucks travel to Phoenix Suns Arena in Phoenix to visit the Suns. The Suns will have home court advantage in the series. All games will tip off shortly after 9 PM ET, with the exception of Game 3 on Sunday, July 11, which will tip off shortly after 8 PM ET.

Mike Breen, calling his 16th NBA Finals, will call the Milwaukee vs. Phoenix series for ABC, with analysts Jeff Van Gundy (15th) and Mark Jackson (13th). Malika Andrews (1st), a 2017 graduate of the University of Portland, is promoted for the sideline reporter job (replacing originally scheduled sideline reporter Rachel Nichols), obviously covering her 1st NBA Finals with the broadcast team.

The Bucks-Suns series schedule is featured below:
