NFL Eases Access Rules for Tom Brady, Allowing Remote Production Meetings in 2025

League officials say a Super Bowl trial showed remote access improves broadcasts without compromising safeguards.

Overview

  • The NFL will let Tom Brady join weekly team production meetings remotely and connect with select coaches or players via virtual hookup.
  • Brady remains barred from in-person visits to the home team's practice facility even if his Fox colleagues attend.
  • NFL media chief Hans Schroeder said the update stems from last season’s Super Bowl test and aims to bolster preparation for Fox’s top game reaching roughly 20–25 million viewers.
  • Brady begins Year 2 as Fox’s lead analyst under a 10-year, $375 million contract while also serving as a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders.
  • Skepticism over potential bias persists among some media and team staff, while Brady counters that he will be professional and not mislead viewers.
