The second year of the Tom Brady broadcasting experience will begin in the nation\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n
Fox\u2019s top NFL team \u2014 Brady, Kevin Burkhardt, Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi \u2014 will call the New York Giants at Washington Commanders game at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sept. 7, the first Sunday of the regular season. The following week, the crew will be in Kansas City for one of Fox\u2019s biggest early season games \u2014 a Super Bowl LIX rematch between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Chiefs.<\/p>\n
It hasn\u2019t been announced yet but the team is expected to be in Chicago for the Week 3 game between the Dallas Cowboys and Bears, per a source briefed on Fox Sports\u2019 NFL plans who spoke on condition of anonymity because the network hasn\u2019t said anything publicly.<\/p>\n
Prior to the schedule release, Fox asked the NFL for more variety among the teams in its 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday window. Fox has long relied on the Cowboys in this late-afternoon window (the most-watched time slot on television), but this year schedule on Fox leans into more teams in the late afternoon, including the Eagles-Chiefs in Week 2.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think CBS has actually had good success having their first doubleheader be in Week 2 the last couple years, so we asked to move off Week 1 as the doubleheader,\u201d Mike Mulvihill, the head of insights and analytics for Fox Sports, told The Athletic earlier this year. \u201cIt\u2019s fine for a single-header, and we\u2019re coming back with our first really special game of the year (Philadelphia at Kansas City).\u201d<\/p>\n
The Week 2 game for Fox should set the network up with its first big viewership number. The Super Bowl LIX broadcast of Philadelphia\u2019s 40-22 rout of Kansas City drew an average audience of 127.7 million viewers across Fox, Fox Deportes, Tubi, Telemundo and NFL digital properties, the most-watched Super Bowl of all time, topping last year\u2019s record Super Bowl audience of 123.7 million viewers for CBS.<\/p>\n
