Eagle, son of legendary announcer Ian, called the basketball tournament at the Olympics alongside Miami Heat icon Dwyane Wade.
Having returned from Europe, the rising star of the booth is now set for another big assignment.
During week one of the upcoming new NFL season, Eagle will call the primetime clash between the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles on September 6.
The game is set to take place in Sao Paulo, Brazil at Corinthians Arena.
Eagle will be joined on the broadcast by Todd Blackledge and Kaylee Hartung.
And the game will be streamed exclusively on Peacock.
Eagle has called NFL games alongside Blackledge before.
Among them was last season’s AFC Wild Card game between the Cleveland Browns and Houston Texans.

NBC’s premiere team is usually comprised of Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth, with Melissa Stark as sideline reporter.
The top trio will not be travelling to Brazil, having already been assigned two games on opening weekend.
Tirico, Collinsworth and Stark will be working on the season curtain raiser between the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium on September 5.
They will then jet to Michigan as the Detroit Lions host the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Night Football 48 hours later.
Eagle has primarily worked on NBC’s college football coverage in the past, working on the Big Ten Conference.
It is not known where he will be most often deployed during the new season.

In addition to football, Eagle has called several NBA games.
Having previously worked for the Clippers, he joined YES Network last September.
In doing so he became an alternate play-by-play announcer to his father Ian, as well as Ryan Ruocco.
Eagle also works as a tennis announcer.
In this role, he has called plenty of matches for Tennis Channel.
He was also Peacock’s primary play-by-play caller for this year’s French Open, alongside the likes of John McEnroe and Mary Carillo.
