Heading into the 2025 NFL season, the league's broadcast booths are defined more by a sense of stability than by shake-ups. The most significant news of last season—Tom Brady joining Fox to become the sport's highest-paid analyst—has already been absorbed, and there's no equivalent bombshell to captivate the media landscape this time around.
While teams and players have undergone significant change, the voices calling the games will be a familiar constant, with most networks returning their key broadcast teams to the booth for another year.
The top broadcasting crews remain the same: Kevin Burkhardt and Brady going into year two as a pairing for Fox, Jim Nantz, Tony Romo and Tracy Wolfson return for CBS, and Mike Tirico and Chris Collinsworth stick with NBC for Sunday Night Football.

But that doesn't mean there have been no changes, and across networks, we'll see some new faces in 2025.
