Tom Brady is no stranger to playing in Super Bowls — he’s won seven of them, after all. But when the 2025 Super Bowl kicks off in New Orleans on Sunday, Brady will be in an unfamiliar spot as a broadcaster.
Brady — who signed a 10-year, $375 million contract to be Fox’s lead NFL analyst — will be in the booth alongside Kevin Burkhardt. While Brady’s first season as an announcer was shaky, at best, the NFL didn’t exactly make his job any easier by signing off on his minority stake in the Raiders.
In an attempt to combat the conflict of interest Brady has as an owner and announcer, the league put restrictions on the former quarterback.

The Brady Rules
Brady isn’t allowed to criticize NFL officials or teams. He isn’t allowed to attend production meetings. He isn’t allowed to attend team practices. He also isn’t allowed to visit team facilities (besides the Raiders).
Now, the NFL did suspend a lot of those rules for the Super Bowl. Brady would be taking part in production meetings, but he still can’t attend practices.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell did also say that the league would reevaluate these restrictions during the offseason.
