0 NFL fans are in agreement on the league's worst announcer heading into the 2026 regular season. FOX, CBS, etc. are releasing their NFL announcing teams as we approach Week 1 of the regular season. The 2026 NFL season will actually start on Thursday night, with the Panthers vs. Cardinals in the Hall of Fame Game. The preseason will start over the weekend, with the regular season about a month away.

However, as we head into the 2026 NFL regular season, which announcers are the best, and which are the worst? NFL fans have named FOX's Chris Myers, Mark Schlereth the league's worst announcers in 2026. They received an "F" grade for their performance in 2025, in an Awful Announcing poll.

This team placed 24th of 25 teams last year, ahead of only the Madden altcast, so their relative ranking didn’t change much. However, their numerical grade fell significantly from last year’s 1.68. That was mostly thanks to them receiving 192 Fs (the highest in this poll)," the poll revealed.

However, the overriding sentiment in the comments was distaste for both announcers. Some remarks there included “Absolutely horrendous, both are an F,” “2002 called and they want their booth back,” “This feels like a booth from 1991 doing a Jack Trudeau vs. Steve Grogan Colts/Patriots game,” “might be my least favorite booth in any sport,” and “Chris Myers lets you know you’re watching the week’s worst game.” And one reader took particular exception to Myers’ call of Cam Little’s 68-yard field goal for the regular season record, saying “Myers completely messed up the call.'"

Davis and Olsen, meanwhile, were the league's best. "Fox’s No. 2 team takes the overall in this poll for the second-straight year, although their grade slightly dropped from last year’s 3.40. This year, they also received a poll-leading percentage of A/B/C grades, although they got one more F grade (11) than Harlan and Green," Awful Announcing added.
