Kurt Warner Named Lead Analyst for YouTube NFL Brazil Game

YouTube will broadcast its first exclusive NFL regular-season game on September 5, 2025, featuring the Kansas City Chiefs versus the Los Angeles Chargers in São Paulo, Brazil. Hall of Famer Kurt Warner has been signed as the lead game analyst for this historic stream, leveraging his extensive experience as a Monday Night Football radio analyst and NFL Network commentator. However, YouTube is still searching for a play-by-play announcer, facing challenges due to the game’s Friday scheduling conflicting with other networks' commitments and reluctance to lend top broadcasters for streaming platforms. NBC is handling the production for YouTube for a fee, similar to Netflix's approach last season, but YouTube will not be borrowing NBC's on-air talent. In addition to the traditional broadcast, YouTube plans to offer interactive streams hosted by popular influencers to create a unique viewing experience. This move reflects the NFL's expanding partnership with streaming services and the increasing demand for diverse broadcast formats.
