Thanksgiving without football? Yeah, it’s not happening. This year, FOX has upped their game as well. It’s a classic with the Giants taking on the Cowboys, and it’s got everything you’d want—rivalries, drama, and Thanksgiving tradition we all look forward to.

Whether you’re yelling for the Giants, riding with the Cowboys, or grabbing another pie during halftime, these will be the highlight of the game day.

Who is announcing the Giants vs Cowboys on Thanksgiving day?

Starting at 4:30 PM ET on November 28, this Thanksgiving showdown isn’t just about the players on the field—it’s also about the legendary crew coming into action.

FOX has lined up the superstar broadcast team featuring The Smooth Announcer Kevin Burkhardt, The GOAT-Tom Brady, The Queen of Reporting-Erin Andrews, Master Storyteller Tom Rinaldi and The Analyst Mike Pereria. So, let’s take a look at the crew.

Let’s start with Kevin Burkhardt, who keeps it all running smoothly. Kevin is FOX’s lead play-by-play announcer, and he’s been doing this gig long enough to make it look effortless. He finally got his big break with the New York Mets and leapt FOX in 2013. Kevin’s style? Professional but relatable. He’s like the chill older brother who explains the game without making you feel sleepy.

Then we’ve got Tom Brady, the GOAT-turned-broadcaster. After winning, oh, just seven Super Bowls, Brady retired (again) and signed a 10-year, $375 million bucks deal with FOX Sports. And here’s the kicker: this is only his first full season in the booth! People were sceptical at first (because, come on, how do you top being Tom Brady?), but he’s already proving to be pretty good at this too.

Erin Andrews is the queen of sideline reporting, and she’s been doing her thing with FOX since 2012. She’s everywhere—interviewing players, she’s there, getting the scoop from coaches, she’s there, and keeping fans up-to-date on everything happening in the game, SHE IS THERE. Erin’s career spans over two decades, starting with ESPN before she became a staple at FOX.

Then there’s Tom Rinaldi, the master storyteller. Even though he joined FOX in early 2021, Tom has been a big name in sports journalism for years. He is particularly known for his emotional and inspiring stories about athletes and teams. Whether he’s sitting down with a player or sharing a moving backstory, Tom can bring a unique energy and vibe to the broadcast.

And let’s not forget Mike Pereira, FOX’s rules analyst. Mike is a former NFL official who joined FOX in mid-2010, bringing along his deep understanding of the game’s rules to the broadcast. He’s known for breaking down controversial calls with ease, making them understandable for the audience.

Together, this crew brings experience, insight, and plenty of personality. Whether Burkhardt’s smooth commentary, Brady’s player perspective, Andrews’ on-the-ground updates, Rinaldi’s heartwarming stories, or Pereira’s rule breakdowns, this team is a big reason why watching FOX on Thanksgiving feels so special.
