CBS will broadcast Super Bowl LV, a matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa at 6:30 p.m. ET.
With CBS getting the rights to the 2021 Super Bowl, they will have Jim Nantz at play-by-play with analyst Tony Romo and sideline reporters Tracy Wolfson, Evan Washburn and Jay Feely.
Romo was a three-time Pro Bowl quarterback despite entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent. He played for the Dallas Cowboys from 2003 to 2016, and moved to analyst work in 2017. In Romo’s first season, he was an instant success as the top analyst, even though there was some shock that he jumped above broadcasting veterans Dan Fouts, Trent Green, or Rich Gannon. But Romo proved CBS right in their bold decision. Not only was he insightful in ways that few analysts are, but he was also prescient, with the unique ability to predict plays before they happened. He even predicted this Super Bowl matchup in November. Because of his tremendous talent, he is the highest-paid analyst in history at $17.5 million per season, per a report.
Nantz joined CBS Sports in 1985, and became the network’s top play-by-play announcer in 2005 when he jumped from the studio to the broadcast booth. Nantz calls other major sporting events like March Madness and PGA Golf tournaments, including The Masters. He has experience calling the Winter Olympics, the US Open (tennis) and college football for CBS.
Tracy Wolfson and Evan Washburn are veteran sideline reporters while Feely brings player experience after working as an NFL kicker from 2001 to 2014.
