In a surprise move, NBC Sports recently decided to move on from Hall of Fame head coach Tony Dungy, who had been part of their popular “Football Night in America” coverage since 2009.
In Sept. 2024, Andrew Marchand of The Athletic reported that Cris Collinsworth was signing an extension to keep him with the network through the 2029-30 NFL season.
Collinsworth has called six Super Bowls as an NFL analyst, including five for his current employer. He first called Super Bowl 39 with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman when the trio was working at Fox Sports.
The former NFL wide receiver also called Super Bowls 46, 49, 52, 56, and 60 for NBC Sports. Interestingly, the New England Patriots have played in five of the Super Bowls called by Collinsworth.
ABC/ESPN will broadcast Super Bowl 61 next year, with Buck and Aikman on the call.Tony Dungy is out. Rodney Harrison’s future is uncertain. But Cris Collinsworth? He’s locked in through 2030.
The “Sunday Night Football” shakeup continues, but the voice fans have come to know best isn’t going anywhere.
