NFL legend Tom Brady is gearing up for his broadcasting debut, which will see him analyze the Week 1 matchup between the Cleveland Browns and the Dallas Cowboys. ESPN’s Adam Schefter announced that Brady will be the lead analyst for Fox Sports during the game, set to kick off at 4:25 p.m. The exclusive broadcasting window for Fox marks a departure from previous seasons, where both Fox and CBS aired doubleheaders on the first week of the regular season.
Brady’s transition to broadcasting comes two years after signing a lucrative 10-year, $375 million agreement in May 2022. Originally slated to start immediately after he retires from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in February 2023, Brady postponed his debut until fall 2024.

Brady has explored new avenues, including a comedic turn as the subject of Netflix’s first live roast, “The Greatest Roast of All Time.” Despite retirement, Brady hasn’t ruled out a potential NFL return, hinting at potential interest in rejoining the New England Patriots or the Las Vegas Raiders.
Brady leaves behind a storied career, holding records for career passing yards and touchdowns. With more than five Super Bowl victories and numerous MVP honors, Brady’s legacy as one of the NFL’s greatest players is firmly established after 23 seasons.
