Grammy Award winner Carrie Underwood has been the voice behind “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night” for the past 12 NFL seasons. Will she keep that streak alive this fall?
Underwood took over for Faith Hill in 2013. Unsurprisingly, it didn’t take long for fans to quickly fall in love with her version of the “Sunday Night Football” song.
On Wednesday afternoon, NBC confirmed that Underwood will continue to sing the “Sunday Night Football” anthem. Her first performance will be on Sept. 7 when the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills square off in a playoff rematch.
“For the 20th season of SNF, we wanted to set the tone for the night by reimagining the anthem sound in a way that plays to Carrie’s powerhouse vocals, while visually creating a seamless blend of stylized shots and behind-the-scenes moments evoking the national roadshow that is Sunday Night Football, week after week in the fall,” Tripp Dixon said.
Underwood added, “As always, Tripp and the creative team continue to raise the bar, bringing the high energy and stunning visuals that the Sunday Night Football audience has come to expect year after year. I can’t wait for the world to see it!”

Even though Underwood teased “high energy and stunning visuals” for this year’s opening song, NFL fans aren’t exactly amped up to hear it.
“The most asinine song choice for Sunday Night Football. Nobody has been waiting all day for Sunday night Football after they have been watching football the entire day,” a fourth fan said.
Clearly, NBC isn’t ready to move on from Underwood.
