    The agreement grants KDKA-TV and KDKA+ the exclusive rights to air all Steelers preseason games. Additionally, fans can expect to continue enjoying a variety of Steelers-related shows, including The Steelers Draft Show, The Steelers Training Camp Show, Steelers Kickoff Pregame Show, Steelers Extra Point Post Game Show, Steelers Weekly Wrap-up , and The Mike Tomlin Press Conference.

    "We are thrilled to continue our partnership with the Pittsburgh Steelers to bring preseason football to the people of Southwestern Pennsylvania," said Chris Cotugno, president and general manager of KDKA-TV. This sentiment was echoed by Bob Pompeani, the longtime KDKA-TV sports anchor, who has been part of the Steelers' broadcast team since 1998.

    "It is such an honor to play a role in one of our region's proudest traditions, Pittsburgh Steelers football," Pompeani shared . "I could not be more excited to continue bringing preseason Steelers games to the fans through the 2027 season and hopefully, far into the future."

    Pompeani will continue his role as the play-by-play announcer, with former Steelers quarterback Charlie Batch providing color commentary. Missi Matthews will report from the sidelines, and pre- and post-game coverage will be hosted by A.J. Ross and Max Starks.
