A familiar Fox broadcast duo will be calling the first-ever Fanatics Flag Football Classic with NFL legend Tom Brady involved in the game.
While Brady is normally in the broadcast booth after signing a massive deal with Fox, his role will be different at the upcoming event. The New England Patriots legend is working closely with Fanatics as one of the game’s captains.

Fox revealed its broadcast team for the March 21 event, including a popular duo that called multiple Super Bowls together. Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen have been named as the commentary team for the first-ever Fanatics Flag Football event.
This weekend, some of the world’s most elite athletes are set for the first-ever @Fanatics Flag Football Classic.
And in the booth, @FOXSports taps Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen to deliver all of the on-field action.

Burkhardt and Olsen have been quite familiar with their shared roles in the broadcast booth in recent years. However, Fox opted to bring in Brady as their lead color commentary broadcaster two seasons ago and relegated Olsen to the network’s second-best NFL game.
The former NFL tight end has remained very much invested in his game coverage though and could end up being a top sports media free agent when his Fox contract expires.

The flag football game includes three teams on the gridiron, and it will serve as a significant test event before the 2028 Summer Olympics. The LA Games marks flag football’s first inclusion at the Olympics.
Fanatics’ event features five on five action on the field and two 15-minute halves for the stars competing.
