Tom Brady’s first year as a broadcaster for Fox Sports received mixed reviews.
Despite his accolades, he had some tough shoes to fill coming behind Greg Olsen, who shocked everyone with his ability in the booth.
Brady called Year 1 in the booth “a very positive challenge.”
FOX announced Brady’s hiring as the No. 1 game analyst in March of 2022. However, he would return for a final season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and spent the 2023 season out of the booth.
The first live game Burkhardt and Brady called together was a United Football League contest. He just wanted to get his feet wet.
After being thrown in the fire in 2024, Fox is releasing huge news for Tom Brady in 2025.
Brady is back for the second year of his lucrative 10-year deal with Fox Sports. The seven-time Super Bowl champion will be back in the booth calling games this fall.
Brady is the game analyst for FOX’s No. 1 NFL broadcasting team, working alongside play-by-play man Kevin Burkhardt. Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi round out the crew as sideline reporters.

Tom Brady is Fox’s No. 1 NFL color analyst.
Greg Olsen, who is Fox’s No. 2 in that role, was nominated for the Outstanding Personality/Event Analyst award at the 2025 Sports Emmys.
This nomination came after he won that exact award last year. Brady was not among the five nominees after a rocky rookie year in the broadcast booth.
It’s just another example of the awkward situation that Fox embraced when throwing $37.5 million per year at Tom Brady.
