Tony Dungy, a familiar face on NBC's "Football Night in America," might be stepping back from his regular analyst role as the network considers revamping its NFL coverage in 2026.
After 17 seasons with NBC, following his illustrious Hall of Fame coaching career, Dungy could be seen less frequently. NBC is reportedly exploring the idea of taking its pregame show on the road, potentially streamlining the cast.
Dungy's legacy includes a Super Bowl victory with the Indianapolis Colts, where he served as head coach from 2002 to 2008. Before that, he spent six seasons leading the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. As NBC evaluates its future lineup, Dungy's presence on the show is uncertain.
The current "Football Night in America" team features host Maria Taylor, alongside Dungy, Devin McCourty, Jason Garrett, Chris Simms, Rodney Harrison, Mike Florio, Matthew Berry, Jac Collinsworth, and Steve Kornacki. Meanwhile, Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth continue to bring the action to life during "Sunday Night Football."
While NBC has yet to make an official comment, fans of Dungy and the show will be watching closely to see how these potential changes unfold.
