She will start by going the Al Michaels route, circa 1970's when ABC had Wide World of Sports:

Not exactly the start of the baseball season, but Skyscraper Live--where a guy is going to climb a 1,667-foot tall skyscraper in Taipei 101, one of the tallest buildings in the world. It premiers on January 23, 2026.

I wonder how many viewers that show will get.

Unlike many announcers who stay with one network, Elle has an interesting clause in her contract.
As long as there aren't any dates with Netflix's schedule where could she fit in with other major sporting events (WNBA Finals on NBC/Amazon Prime, Pac-12 hoops on USA Sports/CBS, etc.), don't be surprised if she takes on additional roles:
