The road to the Super Bowl begins this week and for one of Fox’s announcers, it’s the road most traveled.
Tom Brady has tormented fans for years while being celebrated by others, making him quite the divisive figure in the football world. No matter which side you land on the Brady debate, there is no denying his greatness and mountain of success on the gridiron.
There were scandals, trophies, fist pumps and high fives to no one in particular, but at the end of the NFL playoffs, Brady won the Lombardi Trophy seven times.
This time, he’ll be calling it for the first time. It all starts on wild card weekend when the former quarterback enters the broadcast booth to begin a different type of playoff run.
Here’s when and where you can hear TB12 on the call this weekend.

What game is Tom Brady broadcasting?
Brady will be on the call to provide analysis alongside his play-by-play partner, Kevin Burkhardt, in what should be an entertaining game. Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi will report from the sideline.
The No. 2 seeded Eagles host the No. 7 seeded Packers in a rematch of the game in Brazil in Week 1. Philly captured victory in that one, 34-29. Saquon Barkley made a statement in his Eagles debut, scoring three touchdowns on foreign soil.
Philadelphia comes into the playoffs at 14-3, while Green Bay is the loser of two in a row with a record of 11-6. The Eagles rested starters in Week 18, notably keeping Barkley from potentially setting the NFL rushing record. It remains to be seen how they’ll respond off the break, especially against a Packers team that could be slightly overlooked after finishing in third place in what was a loaded NFC North.
