The CW Announces 2025 College Football Broadcast Teams and New Pre-Game Show

The CW Network has revealed its broadcast lineup for the 2025 college football season, including returning commentators and a brand-new live pre-show, CW Football Saturday Countdown.

ACC coverage will again feature Thom Brennaman on play-by-play, joined by analyst Will Blackmon and sideline reporter Wes Bryant. Brennaman brings decades of NFL and MLB experience, while Blackmon is a Super Bowl champion and seasoned analyst.

Pac-12 games will be called by hall-of-famer Ted Robinson, with former NFL QB Ryan Leaf providing analysis and Nigel Burton reporting from the field. Robinson and Leaf both bring deep ties to Pac-12 football.

In the studio, Mike Yam returns as host of CW Football Saturday, alongside analyst Michael Bumpus. The team expands this year with the debut of CW Football Saturday Countdown, airing Saturdays at 4:00 p.m. ET, and featuring George Wrighster for weekly game previews and insights.

The season kicks off August 30 with Idaho at Washington State (Pac-12) at 10:00 p.m. ET, followed by ACC action starting September 6 with Baylor at SMU at noon.

Pac-12 broadcasts and Countdown will be produced by Pac-12 Enterprises, while Raycom Sports will handle ACC games.
