Joe Buck to Call Yankees-Brewers Opening Day Game on ESPN

The veteran broadcaster returns to national baseball coverage for the first time since 2021 in a one-off assignment at Yankee Stadium.

  • Joe Buck will provide play-by-play for the Yankees' Opening Day game against the Brewers on March 27, airing on ESPN at 3 p.m. ET.
  • This marks Buck's first national MLB broadcast since the 2021 World Series, where he concluded a 24-year tenure as Fox Sports' lead baseball announcer.
  • Buck left Fox Sports in 2022 to join ESPN as the voice of 'Monday Night Football' and has not been part of ESPN's regular baseball coverage.
  • The broadcast team will include former Yankees manager Joe Girardi and Brewers analyst Bill Schroeder, both selected by Buck for this assignment.
  • Buck described the opportunity as a special, one-time event and emphasized his excitement about calling a game at Yankee Stadium, a venue tied to many of his past World Series broadcasts.
