NBC Sports play-by-play announcer Mike Tirico will not be on the call for Sunday Night Football when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers face the Chicago Bears, according to a report from the El Paso Times on Sunday.
The network has not publicly disclosed the reason for Tirico's absence from the prime-time NFL broadcast. Tirico has been the lead voice of Sunday Night Football since 2022, following Al Michaels' departure to Amazon Prime Video.
The Buccaneers-Bears matchup is scheduled for Sunday evening at Soldier Field. NBC has not yet announced who will replace Tirico in the broadcast booth alongside analyst Cris Collinsworth and sideline reporter Melissa Stark.
