Scott Hanson Announces He Will Return As ‘NFL RedZone’ Host For 17th Season

After months of speculation about his future, Scott Hanson confirmed that he will return as the host of NFL RedZone for the 2025 season.

The beloved NFL Network personality shared the news on social media by post counting down the days until a new episode of RedZone will air.

“100 days from now = NFL RedZone,” Hanson wrote. “(& for those wondering: Yes, I *will* be there. We have a LOT of Touchdowns to watch together!)”

Fans have been concerned about Hanson’s status as host of the popular broadcast ever since his contract expired at the end of the 2024 season. Back in February, Front Office Sports reported that negotiations to bring him back had stalled.

Months later, however, when it was announced that Hanson would be headlining GoldZone coverage at the 2026 Winter Olympics, FOS noted that RedZone talks had progressed and were skewing toward Hanson’s return.

Now, Hanson is back and faith in humanity has been restored.
