Jason Kelce will make his regular NFL analyst debut this coming season as part of NFL Network’s slate of seven games. ESPN was expected to announce Wednesday morning that Kelce will debut alongside Pro Football HOFer Kurt Warner and play-by-play man Dave Pasch in a new booth around a pair of international games, beginning with Colts-Commanders in London on Oct. 4. The trio will follow that up a week later on Oct. 11 as they call Eagles-Jaguars, also in London. Kelce has been a fixture in the media space since his retirement in 2024, with his popular “New Heights” podcast, his place on “Monday Night Countdown” and more. This won’t be Kelce’s debut in the booth; in 2023, he made an appearance in Amazon Prime Video’s booth during a “TNF” matchup alongside Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit. Kelce is repped by Jason Bernstein of Clarity Sports International. Meanwhile, Pasch and Warner have a long history dating back to Warner’s playing days with the Cardinals, when Pasch was the team’s radio voice. In addition to the London games, Pasch, Warner and Kelce also will call the NFL’s debut game in Paris later in October, a Saints-Steelers matchup on Oct. 25, as well as a to-be-determined game on Dec. 26 on the network. ESPN on Wednesday was also set to confirm its other NFL Network announce team, with Bob Wischusen on play by play and Louis Riddick as analyst. That crew will call Texans-Jaguars in London on Oct. 18 and Bengals-Falcons in Madrid on Nov. 8. Molly McGrath will be the sideline reporter for both announce teams.
