With Super Bowl LIX preparation in full swing, FOX Sports has unveiled its programming plans and lineup of on-air talent in New Orleans. In addition to coverage of the Big Game itself at Caesars Superdome (Feb. 9 at 6:30 p.m. ET), 67 hours of week-long content will culminate on Super Bowl Sunday with 5 hours of FOX NFL Sunday, FOX NFL Kickoff, and FOX Super Bowl LIX Pregame from its set on Bourbon Street.

The roster of on-air talent for FOX Sports' 11th Super Bowl boasts a collective 30 Super Bowl rings, headlined by its lead NFL announce team of play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt and seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady. Super Bowl LIX will mark Brady's first Super Bowl broadcast and a return to the site of his first Super Bowl win. Erin Andrews, the first woman honored with the Pat Summerall Award, and Tom Rinaldi, a 17-time Sports Emmy Award winner, will report from the field. FOX NFL rules expert Mike Pereira, former NFL VP of officiating, will offer analysis of officials' calls throughout the game - his sixth Super Bowl with FOX, his 18th overall.

FOX NFL Sunday received the 2022 Sports Emmy for Outstanding Studio Show - Weekly and the George Wensel Technical Achievement Award. The entire cast is immortalized in the National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame, the only sports show to receive this honor.
A Week of Programming on FOX Before the broadcaster's live coverage from New Orleans starts at 1 p.m. ET, football fans will have hours of content to enjoy before the first snap. Road to the Super Bowl (11 a.m.), an award-winning NFL Films series, will feature classic slow-motion footage and the best of more than 100 players and coaches wired for sound.
The Madden Cruiser: A Bayou Adventure With Bill Belichick (noon) will be a one-hour special with eight-time Super Bowl champion Bill Belichick hopping aboard the legendary John Madden's iconic Madden Cruiser bus for an unforgettable road trip to New Orleans. Special guests include Brady, Strahan, Menefee, Pro Football Hall of Famers Ed Reed and Ty Law, New Orleans legends Archie Manning and Tyrann Mathieu, and Emmy Award-winning media personality Rocsi Diaz.
On Super Bowl eve, fans can get their fix with two pieces of content. Global Rise of Flag Football (7 p.m.) will showcase the explosive growth of flag football in communities throughout the U.S. and around the world. Viewers will hear stories of this inclusive, accessible sport that is changing lives across six continents from passionate youth participants, elite flag athletes, and NFL players with a shared dream of making history at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games.
Following that will be Super Bowl Soulful Celebration (8 p.m.), the NFL's only sanctioned inspirational concert, uniting cultures through music, faith, and football. Airing from New Orleans' historic Mahalia Jackson Theater of Performing Arts and hosted by actor/comedian Bill Bellamy and Diaz, this year's event will feature performances of R&B, gospel, and country music. It will also honor individual NFL players' contributions both on and off the gridiron, spotlighting their actions toward making the world a better place. During the program, Strahan will be presented the Lifetime of Inspiration Award, celebrating his impact on sports, media, and philanthropy.
Throughout the week, fans can tune into FS1 for Super Bowl-themed content. On Monday, Feb. 3, NFL Super Bowl Opening Night (8 p.m.) with Thompson, Edelman, Schrager, Manning, and Mark Sanchez will give fans a sneak peek at the Super Bowl imagery at the Superdome and the opportunity to hear from the players and coaches during their only public appearance before the game.
On Thursday, Feb. 6, NFL Films Presents (12:30 a.m.) will reveal NFL stories as wonderful and dramatic as the world of football. Hosted by Thompson, the show details the paths of the two Super Bowl teams as they advance to and prepare for Super Bowl LIX.
On Thursday, Feb. 6, NFL Honors (9 p.m.) from Saenger Theater in New Orleans will recognize the best players, performances, and plays from the 2024 season. Hosted by Snoop Dogg, the event will include announcement of the prestigious Walter Payt
