The multi-platinum, GRAMMY Award-winning singer will debut the new SNF show open during the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game on July 31.

The news comes as Underwood is fresh off of finishing her first Idol season as a judge, replacing Katy Perry on the panel next to Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie. Her last album, Denim & Rhinestones, dropped in 2022 and reached No. 10 on the Billboard 200.

She’s baaaack! Carrie Underwood will once again welcome us into Sunday Night Football coverage on NBC this season. It’s her 13th year delivering one of the most recognizable songs in professional sports.
