Tom Brady is headed back to the Super Bowl, this time in the commentary booth, as Fox’s star-studded coverage team for the championship game was announced, with Olivia Culpo and Michael Strahan along for the journey.
Kevin Burkhardt will serve as the play-by-play commentator with Brady for the Kansas City Chiefs’ attempt at a Super Bowl three-peat.
Brady and Burkhardt have been Fox’s top pair all season long. Joining them for on-field coverage will be Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi.
Brady will call his first Super Bowl from stadium where he made his debut in the NFL’s biggest game, and where he won his first of seven rings in New Orleans.
Strahan enters the fray as part of the network’s pregame show, which will be broadcast from Bourbon Street.
Also part of Fox’s pregame show are the usual suspects – Curt Menefee, Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, Jimmy Johnson, Rob Gronkowski, and Jay Glazer.

The Super Bowl rematch from 2023 is expected to draw the largest television audience for a sporting event of all-time, with last year’s game currently holding that record.
The Super Bowl had an average of 123.4million viewers last year, the most watched telecast in history and the second-most watched US broadcast event behind the Apollo 11 moon landing.
The previous record belonged to the last Eagles-Chiefs Super Bowl, which drew 115.1million average viewers.
