SiriusXM has unveiled its coverage plans for the 2026 NFL season, offering live broadcasts of every game while adding several current and former players to its SiriusXM NFL Radio lineup.

The season begins September 9 when the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks face the New England Patriots in a rematch of last February's championship game. On September 10, the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers will meet at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in the first NFL game played in Australia.

SiriusXM will carry every game from the regular season through the Super Bowl. App subscribers will have access to both home and visiting team broadcasts for each matchup, while subscribers with sports play-by-play can also receive both feeds on equipped in-vehicle radios.

The company is also expanding the roster on SiriusXM NFL Radio (channel 88), its 24-hour NFL channel.

Pro Football Hall of Famer Drew Brees is joining "Let's Go!," the weekly program featuring Rams quarterback and 2025 NFL MVP Matthew Stafford, sportswriter Peter King and broadcaster Jim Gray. The new season premieres September 7 at 6pm ET, with Stafford previewing the Rams-49ers matchup in Australia.

"I'm excited to join Jim Gray and our great list of guests on 'Let's Go' as we break down the biggest moments in the NFL every week, giving fans tons of insight and entertainment," said Brees.

New York Giants defensive tackle Shelby Harris, New York Jets linebacker Demario Davis and free agent wide receiver Brandin Cooks are also joining SiriusXM as rotating hosts of "The Players' Point." They join Carolina Panthers long snapper J.J. Jansen, while Los Angeles Chargers fullback Alec Ingold returns as a co-host. The program, hosted entirely by active NFL players, airs Tuesdays at 6pm ET.

Recently retired wide receiver Adam Thielen is also joining the channel. The two-time Pro Bowler will co-host "Airing It Out" with Bob Papa Tuesdays from 10am-noon ET. Thielen retired earlier this year following a 13-year NFL career that included 10 seasons with the Minnesota Vikings.

SiriusXM NFL Radio's existing roster includes Hall of Famers Tim Brown and Bill Polian, former NFL executives Pat Kirwan, Tom Telesco and Ran Carthon and numerous former players and coaches.

During the season, "NFL Sunday Drive" will continue Sundays from noon-8pm ET with Steve Torre and Bill Lekas providing scores and highlights, moving listeners among live game broadcasts and conducting postgame interviews.
