During the 2026 NFL season, commentator Tom Brady was involved in two separate on-air incidents during FOX Sports broadcasts.

In October, Brady caused a technical audio glitch during a Philadelphia Eagles vs. Los Angeles Rams game. He later explained that his research board accidentally pressed the talkback button, disrupting communication with his fellow commentators.

In November, Brady used profanity during a live segment of Fox NFL Sunday while participating in a trivia competition. This followed a previous instance of similar language during a Week 2 matchup in September. Brady apologized for both occurrences, citing embarrassment.
