Joe Buck returns to MLB booth for Opening Day

Joe Buck will call a Major League Baseball national telecast for the first time since 2021 when he provides play-by-play of the Opening Day game between the Milwaukee Brewers and New York Yankees on ESPN.

Buck's last national broadcast was with Fox Sports in 2021, when he covered his 24th World Series for the network. He joined Chip Caray last year on the local broadcast of a St. Louis Cardinals game.

ESPN will air the Brewers-Yankees game in New York on March 27 at 3 p.m. ET.

Buck, 55, left Fox Sports in 2022 for ESPN, where he calls "Monday Night Football." He referred to the Opening Day assignment as a "one-off opportunity" and not a permanent return to the baseball booth.

Joining Buck in the booth will be former Yankees manager Joe Girardi and Bill Schroeder, the lead color analyst for the Brewers.

"Opening Day has always been a signature day on the sports calendar and, personally, it remains special," Buck said in a statement. "ESPN approached me with this one-off opportunity to help launch the season and it was a quick 'yes.' Joe and Bill are both great friends and better baseball minds and I know they will carry the telecast, while I just plan to be along for the ride."

Burke Magnus, president of content for ESPN, added that Buck "is synonymous with Major League Baseball and his presence in the booth will be an incredible addition to our Opening Day coverage."

The game between the Brewers and reigning American League champion Yankees will be the opener of an Opening Day doubleheader on ESPN, which also will air the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers hosting the Detroit Tigers at 7 p.m. ET.
