Add as a preferred source on Google

Sunday marks one of the best football days of the year. Two conference champions will be crowned in the 2024 NFL Playoffs. The NFC Championship features Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers hosting Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions. Kickoff starts at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT on January 28. The game will air on Fox and feature the network’s top broadcast team – Kevin Burkhardt (play-by-play), Greg Olsen (color), Erin Andrews (sideline), and Tom Rinaldi (sideline).

The Lions have a chance to make history. If they defeat the 49ers, Detroit will appear in their first Super Bowl in franchise history. The Lions won multiple NFL Championship Games in the 1950s before the creation of the Super Bowl. On the other sidelines, it’s business as usual for the 49ers as they attempt to win the NFC Championship for the second time in five seasons.
