Kevin Robert Harlan (born June 21, 1960) is an American television and radio sports announcer, and a three time National Sportscaster of the Year as voted by his peers. The son of former Green Bay Packers President and CEO Bob Harlan, he broadcasts NFL and college basketball games on CBS, as well as NBA games on Prime Video. He previously worked NBA games for TNT Sports from 1996 to 2025. The 2025 season will be his 41st consecutive season doing NFL play-by-play, and 2025–26 will be his 39th year doing NBA play-by-play.
He has also been the lead NFL radio voice nationally for Westwood One and Monday Night Football since 2009. On that platform, he has broadcast 16 consecutive Super Bowls, the most in radio or television history. Overall, he is third all time in the total number of network television sports broadcasts for which he has done play-by-play calling for one of the four major sports in the U.S. Harlan has also broadcast more than 500 NFL games on network TV, putting him in the top 10 all time, joining names like Al Michaels and Pat Summerall, for play-by-play.
Until 2008, Harlan was the voice of Westwood One Radio's Final Four coverage of the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament. In 2009, he began serving as Westwood One's lead announcer for Monday Night Football, calling his first Super Bowl in Super Bowl XLV. Super Bowl LX was his 16th consecutive Super Bowl for Westwood One (Super Bowls XLV–LX), the most consecutively in radio and television network history. Harlan also broadcast the CBS HD feed of Super Bowl XXXV in 2001. He also calls the preseason games of his hometown Green Bay Packers for the team's statewide television network since 2003. He is one of three broadcasters to have more than 3,000 career national TV network broadcasts of the four major professional sports, along with Dick Stockton and Marv Albert. He has broadcast the most NBA games for TNT in his 30 years with the network. He has been with Westwood One for over two decades.
