NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football” will soon be returning from its summer hiatus.
The network announced Monday that the weekday morning NFL talk program will come back on July 29, and feature the returns of Jamie Erdahl, Peter Schrager and Kyle Brandt.
New to the program will be former NFL defensive lineman Akbar Gbajabiamila and reporter Sherree Burruss.
Gbajabiamila replaces former defensive back Jason McCourty as a regular on the program.
It’s a homecoming of sorts for Gbajabiamila, who was previously an analyst at NFL Network from 2012 through 2019.
Burruss joined NFL Network last February after previously working for CBS Sports.
The show will originate from Los Angeles, and Schrager and Brandt will be splitting time between there and New York, where they will appear on the show remotely.
Erdahl replaced Kay Adams as host of the program in the summer of 2022, and Schrager and Brandt have been stalwarts since the show’s debut in 2016.
There is also an expansion of the show, as all of the talents will appear on “GMFB: Overtime”, airing on the Roku Channel.
“With ‘GMFB: Overtime,’ we have an incredible opportunity to introduce this unique and beloved brand to an entirely new audience in all 30 NFL markets and beyond,” NFL Media SVP and general manager David Jurenka said in a statement. “We couldn’t be more excited for this expansion of the GMFB brand.”
“It is an honor to be the launch partner for ‘GMFB: Overtime,’ the perfect addition to our Roku Sports offering,” said Roku Media’s head of sports Joe Franzetta,
“This is an exciting milestone in our evolving partnership with the NFL. We look forward to working with both Sony Pictures Television and the NFL to bring millions of fans free access to the latest in the NFL five days a week.”
Flory Bramnick, the Executive Vice President, Distribution at Sony Pictures called the new partnership a “dream come true.”
“Opportunities like ‘GMFB: Overtime’ are special and rare, and I’m grateful to the NFL for entrusting us with this jewel. Roku is the ideal distribution partner for this show because they understand NFL’s power to drive viewership and to create authentic fan engagement,” Bramnick said.
