All eyes will be on the Mercedes-Benz Superdome when Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints host Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this Sunday, and that attention is reflected in this week’s broadcast coverage. The first Saints game of the year will be covered on FOX affiliates from coast to coast, with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman on the call in the booth and Erin Andrews reporting from the sideline.
Scheduled for a 3:25 p.m. CT kickoff, just one game is competing for Saints-Bucs on Fox: a West Coast tilt between the Arizona Cardinals an dSan Francicso 49ers at Levi’s Stadium, which will be shown in their local markets.

Other NFL games shown in the New Orleans market this week include the Atlanta Falcons home opener with the Seattle Seahawks on FOX (at noon CT), and Cam Newton’s New England Patriots debut against the Miami Dolphins on CBS (in the early slate, with Tony Romo and Jim Nantz calling the game).
Additionally, we’ll be watching four national broadcasts from around the league: the Houston Texans visit the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday (on NBC), with the Los Angeles rams opening SoFi Field against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football.
Week 1’s Monday Night Football slate is a double-header on ESPN, featuring an early Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants matchup, and a nightcap between the Tennessee Titans at the Denver Broncos.
