NFL Insider Tom Pelissero Has Landed a New Job
The longtime NFL insider will report on Netflix’s full season and co-host The Ringer NFL Show after ESPN let him go in a network overlap.
- On Monday, August 17, Netflix announced a multiyear deal with former NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero to serve as sideline reporter and NFL insider for the streaming service's five-game schedule this season.
- Pelissero's transition follows his departure from ESPN last month, when the network completed its NFL Network acquisition and eliminated his role amid redundancy with existing NFL insiders like Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport.
- Beyond sideline reporting, Pelissero will co-host "The Ringer NFL Show" and contribute weekly to "The Bill Simmons Podcast," expanding his media footprint across Netflix's sports and podcast ecosystem.
- Pelissero debuts September 10 when the Los Angeles Rams face the San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne, Australia, marking his first assignment for Netflix's International Series coverage.
- With 325 million paid subscribers, Netflix aims to establish itself as a live sports destination, actively seeking to expand beyond its current five-game NFL package to build long-term presence in professional sports.
