BOSTON – Tom Brady returns to the NFL on Sunday. But this time, he’ll be in the broadcast booth, not on the field.

When will Tom Brady make his television debut?

Brady will step behind the microphone as a color commentator for the first time on Sunday when the Dallas Cowboys travel to play the Cleveland Browns at 4:25 p.m.

FOX Sports hired Brady as its top commentator in 2022 when he was still quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he postponed his media appearance until this year. The network reportedly gave Brady a 10-year, $375 million contract.

Brady spoke about his new job during Saturday’s Michigan-Texas football game.

“Obviously super excited. There’s a little bit of excitement, obviously. There’s a lot of preparation by a lot of people. And it’s been a journey for a couple of years,” Brady said. “But I think the most exciting thing for me is getting back to NFL football, being here in the booth. I have the best partner in Kevin (Burkhardt), Erin (Andrews) on the field with Tom Rinaldi, we have a great group, there’s so many talented people that I get to work with. I get to be part of a great team. And I get to cover a sport that I absolutely love.”

Former Panthers tight end Greg Olsen has been demoted to the network’s second-highest analyst for this season, with Brady joining as the top affiliate.

Bill Belichick wants to coach again

Brady isn’t the only one busy with the media side of football. His former coach Bill Belichick has lined up a number of media options after parting ways with the Patriots during the offseason.

According to a new ESPN report on Sunday, Belichick is using the gigs to keep a close eye on the NFL. Adam Schefter reported that Belichick plans to coach in 2025, but only in the right situation.
