NFL RedZone will no longer be “seven hours of commercial free football.” Going into the 2025 NFL season, and following the sale of RedZone to Disney/ESPN, the show is going through a slight transition. That includes the addition of a few ad spots.

Long-time host Scott Hanson took to social media to address the addition of commercials, which has predictably turned off fans, and while he didn’t give a clear reason for the change, he did assuage a few concerns.
