While many football fans are die-hard supporters of their team, there are millions of viewers who love to tune in for the all-action, multi-game show known as the NFL RedZone.
The popular format is hosted by Scott Hansonwhose previous contract with NFL Media expired at the culmination of the 2024 season. There had been speculation that he might leave but Hanson confirmed at the end of May that he’s sticking around.
On social media, Hanson wrote: “100 days from now = NFL RedZone. (& for those wondering: Yes, I *will* be there. We have A LOT of Touchdowns to watch together!) #NFLRedZone”
It was a message met with happy reactions from most, but some also questioned whether he will be sticking to the long-used catchphrase “seven hours of commercial-free football” after controversy during the 2024 season.
Despite using that tagline, NFL Media began selling commercials during a RedZone broadcast last season. For now, both Hanson and the network itself are remaining tight-lipped on the prospect of advertising breaks during the action.
The RedZone format was first introduced in 2009, taking its name from the final section of a football field that covers the area between the 20-yard line and the goal line. It is broadcast every Sunday during the NFL regular season, typically from 1pm to 8pm ET.
Hanson’s new deal will also see him stay on to host GoldZonea similar format that covers the Olympic Games. The show is broadcast live on Peacock and will return in February 2026 for the next edition of the Winter Olympics.
