Scott Hanson has officially confirmed his return as host of “NFL RedZone” for the 2025 season, marking his 17th year leading the popular Sunday broadcast.
This announcement comes after months of speculation regarding his future on the show following the reported expiration of his contract at the end of the 2024 season.
On Friday, Hanson shared the news of his return with a post on X.
“100 days from now = NFL RedZone. (& for those wondering: Yes, I *will* be there. We have A LOT of Touchdowns to watch together!) #NFLRedZone,” Hanson wrote.
Hanson has hosted “NFL RedZone” since its inception on NFL Network in 2009.
Known for its coverage of touchdowns and few commercials, “RedZone” has been an NFL staple for football fans on Sundays, especially heightened with the rise of fantasy football and sports betting, since it entered the fray in the late 2000s.
Earlier in the offseason, reports indicated that negotiations between Hanson and NFL Media had stalled, leading to concerns that he might depart for other opportunities.
Hanson had hosted NBC’s Peacock “Gold Zone” during the 2024 Summer Olympics, so speculation grew that he could make a complete move there.
Though fans will generally be happy about Hanson’s return, some have expressed apprehension regarding the show’s format.
In late 2024, “RedZone” began incorporating limited commercials during its broadcasts, a departure from its longstanding “commercial-free” promise.
Hanson even dropped “commercial-free” from his opening catchphrase, previously welcoming viewers to “seven hours of commercial-free football.”
Despite these changes, Hanson’s continued presence will be a stabilizer for fans of “RedZone,” even with the program’s evolution.
