Here’s who’s calling NFL playoff games on Super Wild Card weekend in 2024.

The 2024 NFL Wild Card round is here, with six teams vying to move on to the next round of the postseason as they continue their march toward a possible Super Bowl 58 berth. Woohoo!

There will be a bunch of TV coverage on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, and if you’re here, you might be wondering whose voices you’re hearing for whatever playoff game you’re watching at the moment.

That’s what we’re here for! This one’s specifically about the Super Wild Card round on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Let’s break down who FOX, CBS, NBC, Peacock and ESPN will have on the mics for their respective NFL playoff games (all times Eastern):

All the changes to CBS’s NFL announcer lineup for 2023, including new additions JJ Watt and Matt Ryan

J.J. Watt and Matt Ryan are in, but you won’t hear Greg Gumbel’s dulcet tones this NFL season.

2022 was a lot of things for the NFL. It was the year Patrick Mahomes established himself as an all-timer. It marked the Philadelphia Eagles’ ascension from “opportunistic middle grounder” to “bonafide contender.” It was a further exploration of Matt Patricia’s failures on the sideline, whether at the top of the coaching tree or as a poorly pruned branch.

It was also the year Tony Romo said “I don’t know, Jim!” so often he’ll have no trouble securing a trademark on it.

Romo, once lauded for his ability to see the minutiae other color commentators missed and predict plays before they unfold, lost his fastball in 2022. His work in the booth went from genuine insight to a poor man’s rendition of Bob Saget narrating clip after clip of dopey dads getting hit in the crotch. He was, to put it simply, not good.

But he’s back on CBS’s top announcer lineup for 2023, where he’ll again team with Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson to take on the network’s top priority broadcasts each Sunday. While that trio remained intact, there are several changes that will introduce new faces and fresh pairings to AFC games (and the occasional cross-over NFC tilt) this fall.

Let’s take a look at the seven announcing teams and what’s changed for 2023.
