As he gets set to embark on his career as an NFL broadcaster, legendary quarterback Tom Brady got a practice run in on Sunday.

During a preseason game between the New Orleans Saints and San Francisco 49ers, Fox captured footage of Brady doing a trial broadcast with his partner Kevin Burkhardt:

Brady will make his broadcasting debut for Fox on Sept. 8 during the 4:25 p.m. ET game between the Dallas Cowboys and Cleveland Browns. He and Burkhardt will be the Network’s No. 1 broadcasting team during the 2024 season.

Adam Amin and Mark Sanchez were on the assignment for Sunday’s preseason game between the Saints and 49ers. Joe Davis and Greg Olsen will be Fox’s No. 2 team behind Brady and Burkhardt. Olsen has won two Sports Emmys for his previous work as Fox’s No. 1 analyst, including a win for Best Event Analyst this year.

It remains to be seen if Fox will put Brady on air during the third and final week of the preseason. While it would undoubtedly draw a large audience for a preseason game if he were on the call, it wouldn’t be a surprise if he does another practice broadcast before making his official debut at the start of the regular season.
