Hold onto your hats, sports fans! Al Michaels, the legendary voice of football, isn't hanging up his headset anytime soon. Despite calling his final game of the season this Saturday night, his voice will echo across Amazon Prime Video's Thursday Night Football for at least another season.
Michaels, who has become synonymous with the sport, expressed his desire to continue his role as the play-by-play announcer. And guess what? The streaming giant confirmed he's locked in for the 2026 season! This is fantastic news for fans who appreciate his seasoned commentary.
"First of all, I feel great," Michaels shared, highlighting his enthusiasm. "Everyone at Amazon has been fantastic and I love working with this group. I’ve been looking at this year one year at a time and as long as I feel I’m at the top of my game, I’d like to continue.” This commitment shows his dedication and passion for the game. He's been the voice of Thursday Night Football since Amazon secured the rights back in 2022.
But here's where it gets interesting: Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit will be on the call for the Packers-Bears game in Chicago this Saturday.
