Carrie Underwood Returns for 13th Season of NBC’s Sunday Night Football
It’s official—Carrie Underwood is returning for her 13th consecutive season as the voice behind NBC’s Sunday Night Football theme song. The announcement comes just ahead of the NFL’s official return, with the first Sunday night game set for September 7, featuring the Baltimore Ravens vs. Buffalo Bills.
This year marks a major milestone—the 20th anniversary of Sunday Night Football on NBC. Underwood, who first joined the broadcast in 2013, shared her excitement about filming the latest season’s opener. “We had a blast shooting the new opening again. I can’t wait for the world to see it,” she said.
Fans who tuned into the Hall of Fame Game got an early glimpse of the new intro. If you missed it, NBC has you covered—check out the sneak peek here.
Underwood’s iconic voice and electric performances have become a staple of SNF, combining country flair with gridiron energy. Last season, she gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at how she records the high-energy theme—watch it on YouTube for an inside look into her creative process.
As fall approaches, Sunday Night Football returns not just with high-stakes games, but also with the unmatched vocals of Carrie Underwood—once again setting the tone for America’s favorite primetime tradition.
