NFL Loosens Brady Broadcast Rules for 2025, Retains In-Person Restrictions

League leaders say the shift prioritizes preparation for a marquee broadcast while maintaining conflict-of-interest safeguards.

Overview

  • An NFL executive said Tom Brady can join weekly production meetings remotely with Fox’s crew and conduct limited virtual interviews with coaches or players.
  • In-person access remains restricted, with bans on practice-facility visits and travel to opposing teams’ sites still in effect.
  • The policy follows last season’s test during Super Bowl preparations and a subsequent league review of what access works without competitive concerns.
  • Brady, a minority owner of the Raiders with a reported $375 million, 10-year Fox contract, has publicly rejected claims he would slant coverage to benefit Las Vegas.
  • Media analysis notes that questions about Brady’s impartiality are likely to continue as long as he holds an ownership stake in an NFL team.
