Fox Sports has locked down two of its top on-air personalities, sideline reporter Erin Andrews and host Charissa Thompson, Front Office Sports reported Tuesday.
Andrews and Thompson, whose respective contracts expired after the 2024-25 season, will receive lucrative extensions before the start of the next NFL campaign.
The report did not reveal details of the new deals.
Andrews, 47, and Thompson, 43, who are best friends outside of Fox and co-host the โCalm Downโ podcast together, have yet to publicly address the contract news.
Fox hinted that Andrews would be back after including her in the 2025 regular season-game schedule in May, which included an image of the veteran reporter along with the networkโs NFL broadcast crew of analyst Tom Brady, play-by-play man Kevin Burkhardt and reporter Tom Rinaldi.
Andrews and Brady represented the network that month at the 2025 Fox Upfronts.
The Wear by EA founder previously โquietlyโ re-signed with Fox on a three-year deal, she revealed on the SI Media Podcast in July 2022.
As for Thompson? She made it clear that she wanted to stay put at Fox while the pair discussed covering Super Bowl 2025, which aired on Fox in February, during a February episode of their podcast.
In April, Thompson addressed โfake headlinesโ about her leaving Fox.
โNo, I am not leaving Fox. I was never leaving Fox,โ she said on the โCalm Downโ podcast. โI donโt know where this took on a life, whereas I was hosting my family here at the ranch this past weekend, four of my family members asked, โWell the place looks nice, but how are you going to afford it now that you donโt have a job?โ
โIโm like, โWhy is this headline out here?โ Itโs crazy โฆ I wouldnโt normally address this โฆ but I was never leaving Fox. Iโm not fired โฆ I hope I die at [Fox]. As I always talk about, Fox is my longest relationship. I have worked there since I was what, 22 years old starting in the HR department. So yes, I love Fox, I will hopefully end my career there in a long, long time. But anyways, itโs not ending anytime soon. Thatโs a fake headline.โ
Thompson hosts the โFox NFL Kickoffโ show and a number of NFL Films spots for Fox.
She also hosts Amazon Prime Videoโs โThursday Night Footballโ pregame show.
Andrews and Thompson often discuss how close they are with their Fox co-workers and how they believe it is a family environment.
