NFL RedZone host Scott Hanson makes decision on his future

NFL RedZone host Scott Hanson makes decision on his future

NFL RedZone host Scott Hanson will return to the show for a 17th year this fall, calling seven hours of uninterrupted football every Sunday of the regular season. 

Hanson hosts the popular NFL show, which shows clips from every game in one medium, jumping around to show the best action, just behind every live broadcast. 

The 53-year-old has also one of the most recognizable voices in football, making his retention on the show a huge plus for NFL fans. 

‘100 days from now = NFL RedZone. (& for those wondering: Yes, I *will* be there. We have A LOT of Touchdowns to watch together!) #NFLRedZone,’ Hanson said on social media. 

Hanson can call as many as 13 games on any shift, as the NFL primetime games on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday would not be his responsibility. 

In that maximum scenario, Hanson gets the chance to pull out the ‘Octobox’, where he shows eight games on the screen at once.

Hanson’s status as host of RedZone, and the show’s airing as a whole, came into question as speculation ramped up about his NFL contract. 

Hanson has signed an extension with NFL Network, with his new contract coming with responsibilities away from the gridiron too. 

He will also join NBCUniversal’s team for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy, hosting GoldZone, a show very similar to RedZone in showing different events. 

Hanson will also be featured in the upcoming NFL Madden 26 video game, a first for the broadcaster.   

Hanson also hosted GoldZone during last year’s Olympics in Paris and has been the in-stadium host for the last 14 Super Bowls. 

Before starting with NFL Network in 2006, Hanson worked for Comcast Mid-Atlantic, helping with regional broadcasts of Washington sports teams.
