NFL on Fox reveals Week 1 announcer assignments

The NFL on FOX will look largely familiar in 2025, as the network returns with its full roster of broadcast crews from last season. Unlike CBS, which shuffled multiple booths ahead of the new season, including adding J.J. Watt alongside Ian Eagle and moving Charles Davis to a new team, Fox enters the season with just one notable change.

The network’s only personnel change comes on the Kevin Kugler-Daryl “Moose” Johnston crew. Longtime sideline reporter Laura Okmin stepped away from the network this offseason, and Allison Williams, who joined Fox in 2022 as a college football reporter, will take her place for the 2025 season. It will be Williams’ first full year working NFL broadcasts for Fox.

Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady return as FOX’s lead team after calling Super Bowl LIX in February. Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi remain on the sidelines for the top crew, which will call Commanders–Giants in Washington to open the 2025 NFL season. The group will then travel to Kansas City in Week 2 for a Super Bowl LIX rematch between the Eagles and Chiefs on America’s Game of the Week.

Joe Davis and Greg Olsen, with Pam Oliver on the sideline, are assigned to the 49ers–Seahawks in Seattle. Davis, who also calls MLB games for Fox, enters his third full NFL season, while Oliver returns for her 31st year on the sidelines.

Kenny Albert, Jonathan Vilma, and Megan Olivi will be on the call for the Buccaneers–Falcons in Atlanta. Albert is set to begin his 32nd season with Fox, making him the longest-tenured NFL announcer at the network.

Kevin Kugler and Daryl “Moose” Johnston will work Bengals–Browns, joined by Allison Williams on the sidelines in her first NFL assignment for the network.

Chris Myers, Mark Schlereth, and Jennifer Hale will call Panthers–Jaguars in Jacksonville. Schlereth returns to the booth despite the recent cancellation of his FS1 morning show, Breakfast Ball. The former offensive lineman had said he expected to continue calling games for Fox, and that will indeed be the case, analytics aversion and all.

Adam Amin, Mark Sanchez, and Kristina Pink will be on the call for Titans–Broncos in Denver. This is the second season together for Amin and Sanchez, while Pink begins her 13th year as a Fox sideline reporter.

Former NFL Vice Presidents of Officiating Mike Pereira and Dean Blandino will continue to serve as Fox’s rules analysts. Pereira, entering his 15th season with Fox, brings two decades of football officiating experience, including six years as the NFL’s VP of Officiating. Blandino returns for his ninth year with Fox after an 18-year tenure with the league, including four years in the VP role.

While CBS has already announced its broadcast assignments through Week 3, FOX is expected to release additional weekly assignments as the season progresses.
