Football season has officially arrived, which means Carrie Underwood<\/strong> is back to bring the excitement and energy with another \u201cSunday Night Football\u201d show opening as part of the NFL Football League’s tradition on NBC.<\/p>\n Every year, the country music powerhouse, 42, along with the network, raises the bar with a reimagined theme song, impressing viewers and hyping up fans for another 18 weeks of gridiron action.<\/p>\n And this time is no different.<\/p>\n Giving a hint of detail as to what fans can expect from her newest musical show opening, this time around, Underwood told NBC<\/a>, \u201cIt\u2019s just very glam. It\u2019s always great, it\u2019s always exciting. It\u2019s always fun.\u201d<\/p>\n A clip, on Instagram shared by the Sunday Night Football and the NBC Sports pages gives a first look at Underwood belting out the iconic \u201cWaiting All Day For Sunday Night\u201d theme song as footage of various football players running on and off the field and showcasing their strength in the big game is shown. Underwood appears on stage, wearing a shimmering blue dress with her hair down, while accompanied by a full band.<\/p>\n \u201cWaiting All Day For Sunday Night\u201d channels the melody of Joan Jett<\/strong>& The Blackhearts<\/strong>‘ \u201880s smash “I Hate Myself for Loving You.” Keeping with the melody, once again, the song lyrics for the chorus and title have been changed to accommodate the message behind the NFL Sunday Night coverage.<\/p>\n The \u201cCry Pretty\u201d singer, who is married to former NHL hockey player, Mike Fisher, <\/strong>who was captain of the Nashville Predators before his retirement, has provided the show opening for NBC\u2019s NFL football coverage for 13 back-to-back years, adjusting the epic welcoming to Sunday Night football each year, but the song itself has only been changed twice under the her reign with \u201cOh, Sunday Night\u201d and \u201cGame On.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s hard to believe it\u2019s been 13 years,\u201d Underwood, an eight-time Grammy-winner, acknowledged her history with the NFL and with NBC, which is now in its 20th season.<\/p>\n Before she landed the honor of delivering the primetime showdown, Faith Hill<\/strong> carried the torch as the powerhouse songstress delivering the famous \u201cSNF\u201d anthem for six years.<\/p>\n Calling \u201cthe fans\u201d the most special thing about the whole deal, Underwood beamed, \u201cThey\u2019ll come up to me, like, on the street and be like, \u2018Oh my gosh! I love Sunday night football. That\u2019s my son’s favorite song. The Super Bowl is kind of home to NBC. It\u2019s spectacular. It\u2019s exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n Look for Underwood\u2019s \u201cSunday Night Football\u201d theme song to be on full display on Sept. 7 on NBC and Peacock, which marks the first Sunday night game of the 2025 season. The kick-off will feature the Buffalo Bills taking on the Baltimore Ravens at Highmark Stadium in New York.<\/p>\n Related: Lainey Wilson Becomes Latest Country Artist to Be Honored in Way She ‘Could Never Have Imagined’<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Sep 6, 2025, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
