Brent Musburger, the legendary college football announcer, has landed a new job for the 2025 season – part of it, anyway.
The iconic college football announcer, who called ABC’s Saturday Night Game of the Week for several years with Kirk Herbstreit, has since been calling Las Vegas Raiders games on the radio. But ahead of the 2025 college football and NFL seasons, Musburger has landed a new job. It’s an impressive one.
Musburger, 86, has landed a prominent NFL announcing role on the verge of the 2025 preseason, which gets underway on Thursday night with the Hall of Fame Game.
Musburger will be joining NBC’s booth for the Detroit Lions vs. Los Angeles Chargers Hall of Fame Game.
The 2025 recipient of the Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award will first be honored on the air. He’ll do a sideline interview with Maria Taylor before joining NBC announcers Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth in the broadcast booth for the entire second half of the game.
Musburger is one of the most iconic voices in all of sports media. He’s perhaps best known for his college football coverage, working alongside Kirk Herbstreit at ABC and ESPN.
But he also has strong ties to the NFL.
Musburger, an avid gambling fan, now lives in Las Vegas. He was the original host of CBS’s NFL coverage and he’s been on the call for several Super Bowl broadcasts, too.
The iconic football announcer has also done strong work for the NBA and college basketball, too.
It’ll be fun to see him back in the broadcasting booth ahead of the 2025 NFL season.
