Scott Hanson confirms he will host NFL RedZone in 2025 season

Fear not, NFL fans. Scott Hanson will return to host NFL RedZone in 2025 amid speculation that he could be moving on into a different role or with a new company, he announced on Friday.

“100 days from now = NFL RedZone,” Hanson posted on X. “For those wondering: Yes, I *will* be there. We have A LOT of Touchdowns to watch together!”

How’s that for a Friday pick-me-up? Hanson’s been a fixture for NFL Sunday since the inception of the touchdown-centric show, and there would’ve been a gaping hole if he decided to move on. Now, he’ll be back and ready to have his best season yet when the NFL returns to action in Week 1.

There’s a bevy of wild matchups slated to start the season that first Sunday on Sept. 7. The Texans will travel to face the Rams, an NFC North divisional showdown between the Packers and Lions will take center stage, and Jayden Daniels will look to start his sophomore season with a bang against the new-look Giants for the Commanders.

More touchdowns, more fun and continued entertainment. Scott Hanson is back for 2025’s iteration of NFL RedZone, and fans can rest easy knowing we’re only 100 days away from his first broadcast of the year.

In addition to NFL RedZone, Scott Hanson will be lending his talent to Madden NFL 26. He landed a role in the video game by EA Sports, which he spoke with On3’s Brian Jones about earlier this offseason.

“They reached out to my reps, I believe,” Hanson told On3. “People have told me, I’m not saying this, but people have told me I’m the soundtrack for their Sundays. Quote-unquote. For them, I’m the voice of football. They’ve told me this. I’m not saying this, you understand, but fans have told me this.

“Madden is the definitive sports video game, certainly the definitive football video game. It seemed to be a natural fit to take the greatest football video game of all time and me being the voice of people’s NFL Sundays, or what they say, the voice of people’s Sundays and put it together.”

Based on what Hanson does in NFL Redzone, it’s possible he could be an in-game host for Madden NFL 26 if that is added into the game. Madden NFL 26 will be available on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2. It will be released a little over one month after EA Sports College Football 26.
