Kenny Albert, born on February 2, 1968, in New York, is a prominent American sportscaster known for his versatile work across major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada, including the NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL. He is notably the only sportscaster who has regularly covered play-by-play roles in all four of these leagues. He is the son of legendary broadcaster Marv Albert.
Kenny’s passion for sportscasting began in childhood. At the age of five, his father gifted him a tape recorder, encouraging him to practice calling games. This early exposure laid the foundation for his future in sports media.
On his sixth birthday, Kenny attended a New York Rangers game. Coincidentally, one of the team's statisticians had to leave mid-game, and Kenny was offered the opportunity to help keep statistics. This experience marked the beginning of his active involvement in the sports broadcasting world.
Inspired by his father and determined to follow in his footsteps, Kenny began working in an official capacity at an early age. By 14, he was the official radio statistician for the New York Rangers, and at 16, he started writing content for the Rangers’ game-day programs.
Kenny Albert pursued broadcasting and journalism at New York University, earning his degree in 1990. While at NYU, he gained hands-on experience working in the sports department of WNYU Radio, further developing his broadcasting skills.

His expertise extended to Major League Baseball (MLB), where he served as a play-by-play commentator for Fox Sports. He also worked as a field-level reporter for NFL games and the Sugar Bowl championships. Additionally, he contributed to NBC’s NHL broadcasts, showcasing his adaptability across different networks and formats.
Kenny Albert’s experience expanded into international sports through his work with NBC on Olympic coverage. He served as the play-by-play announcer for men’s and women’s ice hockey at several Winter Olympic Games, including Salt Lake City in 2002, Turin in 2006, Vancouver in 2010, and Sochi in 2014. His consistent presence at these global events highlights his reputation as a trusted voice in sports broadcasting.
Beyond his work with the Rangers and on national broadcasts, Kenny has also provided play-by-play commentary for teams such as the Washington Capitals (NHL) and the Washington Bullets (now Washington Wizards, NBA).
