Mike Tirico is the voice of NBC Sports’ biggest events, handling play-by-play for Sunday Night Football and the NBA on NBC, and serving as the primetime host for NBCUniversal’s coverage of the Olympics.
In February 2026, Tirico called Super Bowl LX on NBC and Peacock and served as NBC’s primetime host of the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, becoming the first U.S. broadcaster to call the Super Bowl and host a Winter Games in the same year. The unprecedented broadcast double marked Tirico’s first Super Bowl in the booth (an assignment achieved by only 12 television announcers before him) and his fifth Olympics as NBC’s primetime host (third-most in U.S. TV history: Bob Costas 11, Jim McKay 8).
Following Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8, 2026, Tirico hosted the Primetime in Milan Winter Olympics broadcast from the field at Levi’s Stadium.
In January 2026, Tirico completed his fourth season as the play-by-play voice of NBC’s Sunday Night Football, alongside Cris Collinsworth. In October 2025, he became lead NBA play-by-play voice as the NBA returned to NBC Sports.
Tirico, who joined NBC Sports in July 2016, also hosts NBC Sports’ coverage of the Kentucky Derby, and golf’s U.S. Open and Open Championship, among other major events.
