Tom Pelissero Joins Netflix NFL Team | NFL News

Tom Pelissero, the NFL insider who survived ESPN layoffs, is officially heading to Netflix for the 2026 season — joining their sideline crew for all five NFL games, kicking off with a Week One showdown in Melbourne. With a packed schedule including Thanksgiving, Christmas Day matchups, and a late-season finale, Pelissero’s role extends beyond broadcasting: he’ll co-host The Ringer’s NFL show and appear regularly on Bill Simmons’ podcast, as The Ringer’s video content now streams on Netflix. This move follows a pattern of The Ringer poaching top ESPN/NFL Network talent like Todd McShay and Zach Lowe — signaling a bold expansion of their NFL coverage. After years at the NFL Network since 2017, Pelissero turned down Amazon’s Thursday Night Football gig to embrace this new chapter, already hyped up with a simple “Let’s go” post.
