The Baltimore Ravens will visit the Kansas City Chiefs for a rematch of the 2023 AFC Championship Game as KC begins its campaign for a historic three-peat.
It’s a new NFL season on the field and in the booth.
A variety of networks will be in charge of televising and streaming the 272 games that make up the 2024 regular season, giving dozens of play-by-play voices, analysts, sideline reporters and studio personalities a chance to step up to the mic.
The greatest quarterback of all time will make his debut as a game analyst, while his head coach will be partnering with a former rival. Another streamer has entered the game, too, with a pair of holiday matchups.
These are the voices that will call this year’s NFL action.
