Dave Pasch signs exclusive deal with ESPN, leaves Cardinals radio play-by-play job
The Cardinals will have a new radio play-by-play announcer for the 2026 season.
ESPN announced that Dave Pasch has signed an exclusive multi-year contract with the network. Pasch will add NFL coverage to the work he’s already been doing for ESPN covering the NBA, college football and college basketball.
The exclusive nature of the deal means that Pasch will leave his role with the Cardinals after 24 seasons.
“It’s been almost half my life, so it’s been quite the journey,” Pasch said, via the Cardinals’ website. “It’s a journey I did not think would come to an end. It’s one that I will look on with very fond memories and I think the biggest reason why is because of the people that I got to work with over the years.”
Pasch has worked for ESPN since 2003 and the network said more details on his NFL role will be announced in the coming weeks.
