Streamer Paramount+ has announced that INSIDE THE NFL, which aired on HBO for more than four decades, will debut on Tuesday, September 7. New episodes produced by CBS Sports, Showtime Sports and NFL Films, will stream Tuesday nights on Paramount+ throughout the 2021 NFL season to Super Bowl LVI.
This season of INSIDE THE NFL will feature the debut of recently retired 12-year NFL veteran wide receiver, three-time Super Bowl champion and Super Bowl LIII MVP Julian Edelman as the show’s newest cast member.
Edelman joins two-time Super Bowl champion and Super Bowl XXI MVP Phil Simms in his 14th year on the show; six-time Pro Bowler Brandon Marshall; three-time Emmy Award-winner James Brown, in his 12th year as host; two-time Super Bowl champion and Hall of Famer Ray Lewis; and three-time Super Bowl champion and Hall of Famer Michael Irvin. Lewis and Irvin both will serve as contributing analysts throughout the season.
“Given the power of NFL content, combined with the audience on Paramount+, we are excited to help grow the game even more by bringing new fans the highlights and behind-the-scenes access that others have come to expect from INSIDE THE NFL through the years,” said Sean McManus, Chairman, CBS Sports.
INSIDE THE NFL covers every game, every week with trademark highlights from NFL Films, special in-depth features and spirited debate on the game’s hottest topics each week. First premiering in 1977, INSIDE THE NFL will begin its 45th year in production.
