Former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin is set to join NBC as an analyst for Football Night in America, the network announced over the weekend.
The move was officially revealed by Maria Taylor during Sunday night’s edition of NBA Showtime, with Tomlin appearing in the studio.
“I just thought it would be awesome to share insight with fellow football lovers,” Tomlin said. “I love to talk football. And so that’s just an exciting component for me. I’ve got to admit, though, there’s going to be some anxiety about stepping into a new space. But good anxiety, you know? It’s good to be uncomfortable—the growth associated with that. And so, man, I’m fired up about it.”
In addition to the announcement, Maria Taylor confirmed that Football Night in America will take the show on the road every weekend in 2026, broadcasting from the stadiums where the games are played.
Tomlin’s arrival marks a new chapter after 19 consecutive seasons without a losing record as an NFL head coach. His transition from the sidelines to the broadcast booth will keep him in stadiums every weekend, albeit in a different role.
