Scott Hanson announces his ‘NFL RedZone' status for 2025 season
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. Advertisement Scott Hanson speaks on stage during the third day of the 2025 NFL Draft on April 26, 2025, in Green Bay. Getty Images '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. Advertisement 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.

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.

Scott Hanson announces he will continue to host NFL RedZone
Scott Hanson, the longtime host of NFL's RedZone Channel, has confirmed that he will be back in 2025. Hanson, whose old contract with NFL Media expired after the 2024 season, announced today that he has agreed to return this year. In a social media post noting that the first Sunday of the NFL season is 100 days away, Hanson added, 'for those wondering: Yes, I *will* be there. We have A LOT of Touchdowns to watch together!' Hanson has long used the catchphrase, 'Seven hours of commercial-free football,' as RedZone is kicking off, but last season he issued an apology when NFL Media made that statement untrue by selling commercials during one RedZone broadcast. The NFL has not said whether any commercials will air on RedZone in 2025. Hanson will also continue to host Peacock's Gold Zone coverage during the Olympics. Much like RedZone, Gold Zone goes live to the biggest events at any given time during the Olympics. Gold Zone gained much acclaim during the 2024 Summer Olympics and will be back in February for the 2026 Winter Olympics.
