Two winless teams are slated to go head-to-head in prime time with millions watching, and NBC’s top crew will be on the call when the Kansas City Chiefs take on the New York Giants on Sunday night.
Who Will Guide Fans Through Chiefs-Giants on Sunday Night Football?
NBC’s flagship Sunday Night Football (SNF) booth will handle the national telecast. Seasoned commentators Mike Tirico (play-by-play) and Cris Collinsworth (analyst) will be in the booth with Melissa Stark reporting from the sideline.
This is NBC’s established SNF trio for the network’s 20th season of the prime-time franchise, which continues to anchor the league’s Sunday night slate.
The game kicks off at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC, with live streaming available on Peacock. For fans planning their night, the network’s pregame coverage precedes kickoff, and the full broadcast presentation is part of NBC’s continuing celebration of two decades of SNF in prime time.

Radio options are set on both sides. In Kansas City, the Chiefs Radio Network features Mitch Holthus on play-by-play, with Danan Hughes as analyst and Josh Klingler reporting from the sideline. In New York, the Giants’ broadcast team is Bob Papa (play-by-play), Carl Banks (analyst), and Howard Cross (sideline).
A national radio call will also be available on Westwood One. These details give local and national listeners multiple ways to follow along beyond the TV broadcast.
NBC’s crew enters with extensive experience calling marquee games and spotlighting the league’s biggest figures, a relevant backdrop for a matchup that features Kansas City’s offensive brain trust and star power opposite a Giants team seeking a breakthrough under the lights.

All eyes will be on Andy Reid’s early‑season adjustments and how Patrick Mahomes is syncing with a retooled supporting cast. Look for telestrations on how Kansas City mixes quick‑game answers with second‑reaction opportunities when Mahomes breaks structure and how the pass rush leverages games and late movement to force hurried throws.
Another interesting storyline to watch out for is Russell Wilson’s acclimation under Brian Daboll and New York’s efforts to manufacture explosives while protecting the ball.
For viewers, the important particulars are clear. The primary television broadcast airs on NBC with the Tirico-Collinsworth-Stark trio; Peacock carries the national stream; and both teams’ radio networks, plus Westwood One nationally, offer audio alternatives.
As the Chiefs and Giants try to turn their seasons under the glare of Sunday Night Football, NBC’s veteran team will guide fans through every decision, review, and momentum swing from MetLife Stadium.
