List of Pro Football Hall of Fame Game broadcasters
The following is a list of the television networks and announcers that have broadcast the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game throughout the years.
Television
Fawcett Stadium is within 75 miles of numerous television markets in northeast Ohio and western Pennsylvania (and is part of the Cleveland market); as such, the NBC affiliates were required to black out the game in the rare event the game did not sell out. Because Fawcett Stadium only holds 22,375 fans (less than half the NFL's minimum requirements for its stadiums) and the Hall of Fame induction ceremonies bring large numbers of outside fans to Canton, the game has, to date, always sold out (several NFL teams, as well as the Super Bowl, have similarly enjoyed long sellout streaks).

2000s
Notes
- In 2007 and 2008 the game was broadcast live in both Ireland and the United Kingdom by Sky Sports. ESPN America (formerly North American Sports Network) broadcasts the game in the rest of Europe. It was not shown in 2009 because of a dispute between Sky Sports and the NFL over TV rights.
- Starting in 2006, it was moved to Sunday night, coinciding with the new NBC Sunday Night Football television package. The 2007 game was telecast on NFL Network as NBC was intending to televise the China Bowl game in Beijing, China (a game which was postponed to 2009 and later canceled).

- Beginning in 1971, the Hall of Fame Game was televised as part of ABC's Wide World of Sports package on Saturday afternoons. This practice would continue until 1998.

Radio
Dial Global owns national radio rights; it is the only exhibition game to air on a nationwide network. Each team's radio network is also allowed to broadcast the games (albeit usually with fewer affiliates since exhibition games are traditionally much lower priority to non-sports and non-flagship stations).
