The New England Patriots and Detroit Lions head to Munich, Germany, for the NFL’s final game in Europe this season, and it is a key game for each side.
Both the Patriots and Lions are currently in playoff position, making this a big game for the second half of the regular season. Additionally, the game will have a bigger feel to it due to the network that will be broadcasting the game.
After NFL Network had the first stretch of morning games in Europe, Fox will be taking the mantle and airing this game as part of its Sunday schedule. The network is also sending one of its best teams overseas to call the exciting matchup.
Here’s who will be calling the game for Fox.

Who are the Patriots vs. Lions announcers?
- Play-by-play: Joe Davis
- Color commentator: Greg Olsen
- Sideline reporter: Pam Oliver
Fox will be broadcasting the Patriots and Lions game on Sunday morning, with Joe Davis, Greg Olsen and Pam Oliver on the call. The trio represents Fox’s No. 2 broadcast team and shows how much the network is prioritizing this game.
Davis is Fox’s second play-by-play man in football, alongside being the voice of the World Series for baseball. The Los Angeles Dodgers broadcaster joined Fox in 2014 when he was in his mid-20s and has been a mainstay on Fox Sports ever since.
Joining Davis is Olsen, who became an NFL analyst after he retired from the NFL. Olsen initially replaced Troy Aikman on the network’s top team, but after Tom Brady joined in 2024, Olsen was demoted to the No. 2 team with Davis.
Finally, the sideline reporter will be Oliver, a longtime member of Fox football coverage who used to work on the top broadcast with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman. The 65-year-old has been with Fox for over 30 years and has worked several Super Bowls as a result.
