Tom Brady is back at the Super Bowl, but hold up—it’s not what you’re expecting. The GOAT isn’t suiting up this time; instead, he’s diving headfirst into a whole new game.
Tom Brady is back at the Super Bowl! But this time, he won’t be taking snaps-he’ll be calling the game from the commentary booth. The seven-time champion and legendary quarterback is set to lead Fox Sports’ coverage of Super Bowl 59, as the Kansas City Chiefs chase a historic three-peat against the San Francisco 49ers.
Brady will be in the broadcast booth alongside Kevin Burkhardt, forming the network’s top commentary duo for the biggest sporting event of the year. It’s a fitting return for Brady, as he’ll be calling the action from the same New Orleans stadium where he won his very first Super Bowl with the New England Patriots in 2002.
Fox’s coverage will feature an all-star lineup, including sideline reporters Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi, while former New York Giants star Michael Strahan joins the pregame crew broadcasting live from Bourbon Street.
Fox’s all-star cast
Super Bowl champion Rob Gronkowski, Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, Jimmy Johnson, Jay Glazer, and Curt Menefee will also be part of the festivities.
Adding a touch of Hollywood glamour, Olivia Culpo-wife of 49ers star running back Christian McCaffrey-will host a special red-carpet event from the Caesars Superdome, marking a new addition to Fox’s Super Bowl programming. Culpo was in attendance at last year’s Super Bowl as a fan when the Chiefs defeated the 49ers in an overtime thriller.
NFL rules expert Mike Pereira will break down controversial calls throughout the game, while Charissa Thompson, Charles Woodson, Julian Edelman, Michael Vick, and Peter Schrager will contribute to pregame analysis. Fox will also air a Spanish-language broadcast featuring Rodolfo Landeros, Adrian Garcia Marquez, Jessi Losada, and Jaime Motta.
The biggest broadcast in history
This year’s Super Bowl rematch is expected to shatter television records. Last year’s game was the most-watched telecast in history, drawing an average of 123.4 million viewers-surpassing even the Apollo 11 moon landing.
With the Chiefs and 49ers set for another epic showdown, Fox is preparing for what could be the biggest broadcast event of all time.
Will Brady’s debut as a Super Bowl commentator be as legendary as his playing career? Fans will be watching closely as the GOAT takes on his newest challenge-this time, with a headset instead of a helmet.
