Fox broadcast Super Bowl 59 at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana last week.
The Philadephia Eagles blasted the Kansas City Chiefs, 40-22, and the 2024 campaign has now come to an end.
So Fox will now turn their attention to the 41-year-old Charissa Thompson, whose contract is currently up.
There hasn’t been a report of any extension for the Fox NFL Pregame host.

During the latest edition of Calm Down with Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson, the latter Fox star opened up on their thoughts about covering the Super Bowl.
Thompson revealed her gratitude to Fox for the Super Bowl experience – both for her and her family.
“I just have to say one thing, and this is also what I am going on and on about Fox, and I swear. I mean it’s not just because my contract’s up,” she said.
“I love Fox so much because my brother and my dad came to the Super Bowl, and Fox’s family to me, so my own family like sharing in those moments.
It was so fun and Fox just makes them feel so welcome and makes sure they’re included in the events and everything.
“So I just would be remiss if I didn’t mention how wonderful my extended work family is to my own family.”
It doesn’t seem that Thompson is ready to move on from Fox.
Along with her Fox job, she has also worked as a host for Prime Video’s Thursday Night Video.
While Thompson decides on her future, Bradshaw knows when he’ll hang up his microphone.
Bradshaw, who’s been a member of Fox NFL Sunday since its inception in 1994 and has two more years left on his contract, shared that he intends to retire after the 2029 Super Bowl – when he’ll be close to 80 years old.
“I told my wife before I left the room a while ago, I’m sitting there, I said, ‘I’ve got two years left at FOX. I’m 76’,” he said last week during a media scrum in New Orleans.
“Okay, so it’s a young man’s game.
“I get that.’ Everybody wants the new.
“And so I said, ‘If we can get to the next Super Bowl, I’ll be 80. That’s, I think that’s time’.
“80 years old, that’s pushing it.”
Bradshaw and the rest of the Fox NFL Sunday crew were part of the coverage of a historic Super Bowl regarding viewership.
