Who are the FOX NFL Announcer Teams in 2026?
| Team | Play-by-play | Analyst | Sideline |
|---|---|---|---|
| No. 1 | Kevin Burkhardt | Tom Brady | Erin Andrews, Tom Rinaldi |
| No. 2 | Joe Davis | Greg Olsen | Pam Oliver |
| No. 3 | Adam Amin | Drew Brees | Kristina Pink |
| No. 4 | Kenny Albert | Jonathan Vilma | Megan Olivi |
| No. 5 | Kevin Kugler | Daryl “Moose” Johnston | Allison Williams |
| No. 6 | Chris Myers | Mark Schlereth | Jen Hale |
FOX announced the lineup on August 4, 2026. The higher the team number, the lower the game usually sits in the week’s ratings pecking order: the No. 1 crew gets the biggest matchup, and the No. 6 crew usually gets a regional game that only a few markets see.
FOX publishes which crew has which game every week on its Press Pass page.
Who is in Each FOX Booth?
No. 1: Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady
Burkhardt and Brady are in their third season together. The seven-time Super Bowl champion signed a 10-year deal with FOX before the 2024 season.
Erin Andrews, the first woman honored alone with the Pat Summerall Award, and Tom Rinaldi, a 17-time Emmy winner, report from the sideline.
The crew opened the season in Philadelphia with Commanders at Eagles and calls America’s Game of the Week most Sundays, the Thanksgiving game, and the NFC playoff games through the NFC Championship.

They opened the season with Falcons at Steelers.
No. 3: Adam Amin and Drew Brees
The new pairing of 2026. Brees, a 2026 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee who ranks second all-time in passing yards and touchdowns, joined FOX in place of Mark Sanchez during the 2025 season and now has the job full time.

Who are the FOX NFL Rules Analysts?
