The NFL Today is CBS Sports’ long-running NFL pregame studio program, which premiered in 1961 as Pro Football Kickoff. The show airs on Sunday afternoons during the NFL season, leading into the network’s game coverage. It is one of the most recognizable and enduring pregame programs in sports history, famous for being the first live, weekly pregame show.
NFL Today provides matchup previews, player storylines, injury updates, league-wide highlights, and predictions ahead of kickoff. The format blends in-studio discussion with video breakdowns, feature stories, and interviews with players and coaches. Additionally, the program airs special editions during major events, such as The Super Bowl Today, which offers on-site Super Bowl pregame coverage.
As of the 2025–26 NFL season, the show is hosted by James Brown. He is assisted in the studio by a team of analysts that includes Nate Burleson (who also serves as the fill-in studio host), Kirk Cousins, Bill Cowher, and a mix of guest analysts, former NFL players, and coaches who offer unique perspectives.
Over the decades, The NFL Today has featured several notable hosts and analysts. These include Brent Musburger, who anchored the program during its early years, with Greg Gumbel and Jim Nantz handling hosting roles in later years.
