Tom Brady will be making his broadcast debut on FOX Sports.
The network announced Monday at Upfront in New York that Brady will be on the call when the Cowboys play the Browns in Cleveland on Sept. 8.
The news was revealed on stage by Fox NFL studio analyst Michael Strahan.
This game is the second half of a doubleheader on Fox and will not face a game from the CBS window.
The news was more than two years in the making, with Brady and Fox originally announcing that the seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback would join the network’s top announce team after his playing career ended in 2022. .
Brady took a gap year last season to spend time with his family after retiring from the NFL after a 23-year career.
Former Postmedia columnist Andrew Marchand reported that Brady’s deal with Fox Sports is worth a total of $375 million over 10 years.
Brady will replace Greg Olsen as head of the Fox NFL announce team alongside Kevin Burkhardt.
Considering Brady led the Bucs to the NFC South championship in 2022 and threw for nearly 5,000 yards, speculation remains that he could return to the gridiron.
Just last month, Brady said on his podcast that he’s “not opposed” to the starting quarterback returning to football in case he loses to a championship favorite late in the season.
Elsewhere on Fox Upfronts, the network announced that women’s basketball’s premier matchup, USC vs. UConn featuring JuJu Watkins and Paige Bueckers, will air on Saturday, Dec. 21, after the NFL game. .
Fox also announced three showcase games for the Big Noon Kickoff College Football package. Texas vs. Michigan on September 7th, Alabama vs. Wisconsin on September 14th, and Michigan vs. Ohio State on November 30th.
