Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson’s chapter at Fox might be over. While Thompson has already a contract with Amazon Prime Video for Thursday Night Football, there is no clarification on what is next for the NFL’s sideline reporter. However, her recent appearances at the ‘Skate’, an NHL event hosted by the LA Kings, and on her own podcast ‘Calm Down With Erin & Charissa’ speak a lot about her distance with Fox. “I think my goal is always kind of the same as last year,” she said. “Enjoy it, because it’s not going to last forever, especially when your contract is up — and mine is.” But does that mean she will be switching the football sideline with ice hockey’s rinkside? Who knows? But a recent update is enough to confirm that the 46-year-old may not be going away from the NFL anytime soon.

See, even though Erin’s Fox contract is up, she already has a lot on her plate, including her podcast with Charissa and clothing line WEAR. Recently, Erin and Charissa partnered with an NFL franchise for a one-of-a-kind event. We all know how passionate Erin is about her podcast, ‘Calm Down.’ And this partnership was only a glimpse of how big of a brand the podcast can be in the near future.

With her FOX future still TBD, she just popped up at a major NFL event, not with a mic in hand, but as a game-changer, proving she’s not just covering the sport—she’s helping shape its future all while building her own brand. Erin and her best friend Charissa are diving headfirst into a whole new era—one that’s all about hyping up women in football.

The broadcaster duo just pulled up to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ first-ever “She is Football” Weekend (March 7-8, 2025). And this was not just some regular sports summit; it was a full-on celebration of women breaking barriers in football and proving they belong all over the game. The event was also special because the duo also recorded a live podcast with a special guest.

“We are here in Tampa for “She is Football” with the Buccaneers. We are so excited, we are about to record a live podcast. And we are having a very special guest. We are going to have Tristan Wirfs…,” Erin and Charissa said. We are excited to meet all of the wonderful women that are here this weekend.

Taking the opportunity, Erin also promoted her clothing line ‘WEAR.’ “We are excited to do a bunch of stuff and of course we had to stop by the team store because we can not pass over a “WEAR by Erin Andrews” jacket when we get to see them in store in person,” Thompson and Andrews added.

About “She is Football,” the event was a two-day banger packed with a career summit, a girls’ flag football tournament, a 5K run/walk, and even a market featuring over 50 women-owned businesses. The mission? Hype up women in sports, keep girls in the game and create real opportunities for them to thrive in football—on and off the field.

The Women’s Summit lineup was stacked, featuring total bosses like Michelle Gervais (partner at Blank Rome LLP), Alicia Schulhof (president of Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital), Amanda Stevens (CEO of Raymond James Bank), and Andrea Kremer (NFL Network’s chief correspondent). Between mentorship sessions, panel talks, and networking. The whole thing was a major W for women looking to break into sports.

But wait, there’s more. The weekend was loaded with action. The girls’ flag football tourney featured eight Florida high school teams balling out, proving that the next-gen is coming in hot. Then the 5K Run, Walk & Stroll had the whole community showing up to raise money for programs that keep girls in sports. And the festival? Total vibe check. Think food trucks, fitness classes, kids’ activities, and live music—because empowerment should always come with a side of fun.

And let’s talk legacy. The Bucs have been running the “She is Football” Scholarship for six years, helping female high school seniors who’ve played football get to college. It’s just another way they’re making sure women keep making moves in the sport—whether on the field, in the front office, or behind the mic.

With “She is Football” officially in the books, the Bucs are setting the tone for something massive. And with Andrews, Thompson, and even NFL stars like Wirfs backing the movement, this is just the beginning of a whole new era for women in football.

Erin Andrews is done with FOX… Or is she?

Alright, so Erin Andrews’ contract with FOX is officially dunzo, but if you think she’s about to fade into the background, nah, not happening. She hasn’t made any big announcements yet, but her latest comments? They’re kinda giving ‘I’ll be back.’

She first hinted at her uncertain future on Calm Down with Erin & Charissa back in September. Saying she was just vibing and soaking up the season since “it’s not gonna last forever.” But fast forward to March, and she’s talking like she’s locking in for another run. While discussing Jimmy Johnson’s retirement, she casually said, “It won’t really feel real until we kick off this season.”

But here’s where things get spicy—what if Andrews isn’t just sticking to the NFL? She pulled up to the LA Kings’ Skate for LA Strong event in February. Chilling with some big names in hockey (including her NHL legend husband, Jarret Stoll). Now, fans are low-key convinced she might be plotting a move to NHL coverage. Would it be a shock? Not really. She’s got the connections, the credibility, and let’s be real—she’d absolutely eat in hockey broadcasting.

That said, FOX would have to fumble hard to let her walk. So don’t keep a surprised face if she’s right back on the NFL on FOX squad. But for now, she’s focusing on her health, which, honestly, is way more important than any sideline gig. The cervical cancer survivor recently had a skin check, got a spot on her arm “burned off,” and started treatment for something on her upper lip. Even though she’s fine, she kept it real: “It’s scary, but you have to go.” A solid reminder for all of us to take care of ourselves.

So, what’s the vibe? NFL? NHL? Something totally new? Whatever it is, one thing’s clear—Erin Andrews isn’t leaving the sports world anytime soon.
