If Week 4 taught NFL fans anything, it’s that the action in the broadcast booth can be just as compelling as the drama on the turf. Now, the league has finalized its Week 5 announcer pairings, bringing a few noticeable shifts to network coverage.
While some fan-favorite crews are retaining their chemistry from last week, the league’s new schedule reveal introduces a few eye-catching combinations that are bound to dominate sports radio headlines all week long.
Week 5 opens Thursday night on Prime Video as Al Michaels, Kirk Herbstreit, and Kaylee Hartung call the winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the Dallas Cowboys. Here is how the rest of the Week 5 broadcast booth schedule shapes up with team records heading into the week, per List Wire:

The 49ers–Seahawks game marks a familiar setting for FOX’s lead crew, who called the last meeting between these two rivals at Lumen Field.
Before heading to Seattle, Brady’s Week 4 assignment took him to Lincoln Financial Field to call a quarterback duel between Jalen Hurts and Matthew Stafford as the Los Angeles Rams faced the Philadelphia Eagles.
Here is a look at Brady’s complete 2026 broadcasting slate so far:
- Week 1: Commanders at Eagles
Week 2: Commanders at Cowboys
Week 3: Chargers at Bills
Week 4: Rams at Eagles
Looking ahead, FOX has already locked in a major milestone for Brady in Week 9, scheduling him to call his very first game at Gillette Stadium when the Green Bay Packers visit the New England Patriots, where he won six of his seven Super Bowl rings.
