Giants fans won’t have to wait long to hear Tom Brady back in the booth. Fox’s top NFL crew will open the season with the Giants-Commanders matchup in Week 1, followed by a marquee Week 2 assignment when the Chiefs host the Eagles in a Super Bowl rematch during Fox’s America’s Game of the Week.
Brady, 48, returns for his second season as Fox’s lead game analyst, working alongside play-by-play voice Kevin Burkhardt with Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi reporting from the sidelines. Fox emphasized the depth and experience of its game and studio teams in unveiling the early-season slate.
Brady was part of Fox’s Super Bowl broadcast team last season, which set an all-time audience mark as the most-watched Super Bowl in history. The network is clearly keeping its A-team in the biggest windows early, positioning Brady in two high-profile, coast-to-coast showcases that pair a divisional rivalry with one of the sport’s premier national matchups.
Off the field, Brady’s summer drew attention beyond football, from a European vacation to tabloid buzz linking him to actress Sofia Vergara. He shares two children with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen and co-parents his eldest son with actress Bridget Moynahan.
Additional context and commentary:
– The NFC East rivalry in Week 1 ensures a massive market draw to start the season, giving Brady an immediate New York–D.C. spotlight.
– Chiefs-Eagles in Week 2 is a ratings magnet and a natural test of Brady’s chemistry with the crew under peak attention, continuing Fox’s strategy of loading early national windows.
– For Giants fans, hearing Brady analyze a division game could offer fresh insight into quarterback play and offensive adjustments, particularly early in the season when new wrinkles debut.
– Fox’s decision reflects confidence in Brady’s growth from year one and a desire to capitalize on his star power in back-to-back national showcases.
Summary:
– Week 1: Brady, Burkhardt, Andrews, and Rinaldi call Giants vs. Commanders.
– Week 2: The same crew handles Chiefs vs. Eagles on America’s Game of the Week.
– Brady enters his second season as Fox’s lead analyst, fresh off a record-setting Super Bowl broadcast.
– Early-season assignments underline Fox’s commitment to putting Brady on the biggest stages, a promising sign for viewers looking for marquee matchups and high-level analysis.
