The Chicago Bears are set to host the Green Bay Packers in a rematch of their Week 14 showdown, and tensions are sure to be high. The Packers took the win in their previous meeting, but with star Micah Parsons sidelined this week, the Bears have a prime opportunity to even the score.
The matchup also carries major implications for the NFC North, as the two teams are separated by just half a game. The winner on Sunday will take the division lead and could even secure a playoff spot if the Lions also fall. So, let’s take a closer look at who will be calling the action for FOX this Saturday.

FOX’s coverage of Saturday night’s NFL slate kicks off at 5:00 p.m. ET with the Eagles–Commanders matchup. Coverage of the Bears-Packers game will begin at 8:20 p.m. ET, with FOX assigning its No. 1 NFL broadcast team to call the action.
Veteran broadcaster Kevin Burkhardt will handle play-by-play duties, bringing his smooth delivery and sharp game-calling to the booth. Burkhardt has been calling NFL games on FOX since 2013 and has steadily risen to the network’s top broadcast team, previously working alongside Daryl Johnston and Greg Olsen.
Paired with Burkhardt since last season is legendary quarterback Tom Brady, who joined FOX on a monumental 10-year, $375 million deal following his retirement. While Brady’s on-field resume needs no description, the seven-time Super Bowl champion’s broadcasting career is still a work in progress.
On the sidelines, Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi will provide real-time updates and behind-the-scenes coverage. Andrews, with over two decades of broadcasting experience, has been with FOX since 2012. Rinaldi, a versatile journalist, has covered everything from WWE to professional golf.
For fans tuning in via radio, Bears coverage airs on ESPN Chicago (1000 AM, 100.3 FM HD2), featuring longtime Bears announcer Jeff Joniak and former Bears lineman Tom Thayer. They will be joined by former NFL fullback Jason McKie reporting from the sidelines at Soldier Field.
The game is also available on the SiriusXM app, with the national broadcast on channel 88, the Bears broadcast on channel 225, and the Packers broadcast on channel 226. No matter how you tune in, whether by TV, radio, or streaming, you won’t want to miss this NFC North showdown.
