Overview

  • Tom Brady will be permitted to take part in team production meetings during the 2025 season, first reported by The Athletic and confirmed by ESPN.
  • ESPN reports he must join those meetings remotely and may conduct off-site interviews, while attendance at team practices remains prohibited.
  • The access limits originated with league-approved safeguards tied to Brady’s minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders during his first year as Fox’s lead analyst.
  • The NFL previously granted a one-game exception for Super Bowl LIX, allowing Brady to sit in on meetings before calling the game.
  • Other measures continue to apply, including expectations around public criticism of officiating and compliance with anti-tampering rules.
