Tom Brady’s first game as an NFL analyst for FOX Sports will be a doozy between two star-studded teams and Super Bowl hopefuls.
The 2024 NFL schedule will be released this Wednesday at 8:00 p.m. EST, but we don’t have to wait any longer to learn of Tom Brady’s analyst debut. That’s because on Monday, Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Strahan revealed to Brady that his first game with FOX will be the Dallas Cowboys’ visit to Cleveland, where they’ll take on Myles Garrett’s Browns:
LFG! 😤

So mark that can’t-miss game on your schedule: Brady, play-by-play voice Kevin Burkhardt and sideline reporter Erin Andrews will be on the call for the Browns’ home opener against America’s Team.
Even if you take Brady’s FOX debut out of the picture here, there’s a lot to like about the Dallas-Cleveland matchup. Both teams finished with double-digit victories last season to reach the playoffs, only to be crushed in the Wild Card Round.

Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, Zack Martin, Micah Parsons and Trevon Diggs vs. Garrett, Denzel Ward, Deshaun Watson, Amari Cooper, Nick Chubb, Joel Bitonio and Wyatt Teller promises to be a fascinating matchup.
In the 2022 offseason, Brady and FOX agreed to a massive 10-year deal worth $375 million. Year one of that contract begins in less than four months, so prepare your popcorn.
Tom Brady Is Back On Your Television Sets
Last season marked the first NFL campaign without Tom Brady since 1999, when Bill Clinton was president and the world was still freaking out over “Y2K.”
But fortunately for longtime fans of the seven-time Super Bowl Champion, Brady’s absence from weekly appearances on NFL Sunday will have only lasted a year. After an illustrious 23-year run as a player, he’s now moving to the broadcast booth.
Brady, Burkhardt and Andrews will also be on the call for Super Bowl 59 next season in New Orleans, Louisiana.
