Tom Brady’s first game assignment for his anticipated broadcasting debut with FOX has been revealed.
The NFL on Monday announced a few games that will take place in Week 1 of the 2024 season. The full regular season schedule is set to be released on Wednesday.
In the first game of the season, the Kansas City Chiefs will host the Baltimore Ravens. Another Week 1 game will feature the Dallas Cowboys at the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, Sept. 8, at 4:25 p.m. ET. That game will mark Brady’s broadcasting debut for FOX.

Brady’s broadcasting debut has been anticipated since he retired after the 2022 season. The 46-year-old decided to take the 2023 season off and prepare to make his debut in the booth in 2024.
There was plenty of speculation that Brady might not end up doing any work for FOX at all, but as of May, it sure seems like he is eager to fulfill his hefty contract.
