Tom Brady NFL FOX Sports debut game revealed as the seven-time Super Bowl winner crosses into the booth on 10-year, $375MILLION deal

Tom Brady has discovered that his first NFL game as an analyst for FOX Sports will see the Dallas Cowboys face Cleveland Browns.

'Obviously having the Cowboys on is a huge draw,' Brady said. 'I love covering them, I've been going against them a long time.'

The game will be at the Cleveland Browns Stadium and kicks off at 4:25pm ET on Sunday, September 8. Brady will be joined in the broadcast booth by Kevin Burkhardt.

Brady has a 10-year, $375million deal with FOX to call NFL games in a new era of his football career, after retiring in February 2023 for the second and final time. 

The 46-year-old, a seven-time Super Bowl champion, is widely considered the best to have ever played the game and spent 23 years in the NFL with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tom Brady's first game as an NFL analyst sees Dallas Cowboys play Cleveland Browns

Brady took a year out after retiring in 2023 - there were, naturally, rumors that he could have been convinced to keep on playing - and has since been working on his camera skills ahead of his hugely anticipated debut on the screen.

Brady will be calling a game that raises the curtain on a huge season for both franchises.

Last year, the Cowboys won the NFC East but lost 48-32 in the playoffs to the Green Bay Packers, the No 7 seed, in the wild-card round.

It also marks the final year of quarterback Dak Prescott's four-year Cowboys contract.  

The Browns, meanwhile, lost in the playoffs to Houston Texans, going down 45-14.

The announcement of the first game comes after it emerged that last season's Super Bowl winners, the Kansas City Chiefs, will start the season in a blockbuster game against the Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead Stadium. 

The full NFL schedule is going to be released on Wednesday night.
