CBS Sports is preparing for the 2026 NFL season with two open slots in its fourth broadcast booth. This vacancy arises from ESPN's recent decision to re-sign Jason McCourty to a new multi-year exclusive deal.
The agreement, announced on Thursday, pulls McCourty away from the CBS booth he occupied during the previous season. His departure leaves significant changes for the network's coverage team structure moving forward.
During his time with CBS, McCourty shared the broadcast booth with play-by-play man Andrew Catalon, analyst Charles Davis, and sideline reporter A.J. Ross. The network must now fill these positions to maintain its broadcasting capabilities for upcoming games.
The move highlights the competitive nature of sports media contracts, as top analysts are frequently targeted by rival networks seeking to enhance their own coverage quality. McCourty's shift to ESPN represents a notable personnel change in the landscape of NFL broadcasting.
