TAP into West Essex, March 21, 2021. Accessed December 19, 2022. "Noah Eagle graduated West Essex High School in 2015 and Syracuse University in 2019." At Syracuse, he showed promise as a play-by-play announcer when calling the Orange's basketball, football and lacrosse games. Eagle graduated from Syracuse in 2019.

Career

In April 2019, Eagle tried out for the Clippers TV play-by-play job, but did not get the role. However, he was offered the radio play-by-play job for the Los Angeles Clippers, which he began in October 2019.

In 2021, Eagle called his first NFL game for ''Nickelodeon'', a simulcast of CBS’s Wild Card playoff game between the New Orleans Saints and Chicago Bears. The next year, Eagle called Nickelodeon's broadcast of the NFC Wild Card game between the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys. Eagle will call Nickelodeon's broadcast of a Christmas Day game between the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Rams.

Eagle's first instance calling an NFL game on network television came in 2022 when he called a Week 5 matchup between the 49ers and the Atlanta Falcons on Fox, filling in for colleague Adam Amin, who was covering postseason baseball for Fox.

Eagle joined CBS Sports in 2021 as the play-by-play broadcaster for their #2 broadcasting team for college football. His role consisted of calling games during the ''SEC on CBS'' doubleheaders and calling select CBS Sports Network games. Eagle worked in this role during the 2021 season due to Carter Blackburn, who had held that role from 2014 to 2015, and again from 2017 to 2020, being on sabbatical.

In the summer of 2021, Eagle worked the play-by-play assignment of 3x3 basketball for NBC Sports' coverage of the 2020 Summer Olympics, the first time the sport has been played at the Olympic Games.

Eagle later joined Fox Sports in 2022. He has worked as a play-by-play announcer for their college basketball coverage and was later named as a play-by-play announcer for their college football coverage. Eagle has also spent time filling in on MLB games as a studio host for Fox.

On December 17, 2022, Eagle served as the play-by-play announcer for the 2022 Indianapolis Colts-Minnesota Vikings game, which was broadcast on NFL Network. With the Vikings win, by a score of 36–33, in overtime, they came back from being down by 33 points for the biggest comeback in NFL history.

His announcing style takes inspiration from his father and he does so through the use of information-packed analysis and lighthearted humor during the broadcast.
