Carrie Underwood is back on Sunday nights to open NBC's Sunday Night Football broadcasts during the 2020-2021 NFL season.
A press release from the NFL reports that the new SNF opening sequence worked according to COVID-19-related guidelines, filming without extras. Players will appear through virtual cameos, while football fans will be highlighted via user-generated content.
Carrie recorded a new version of Sunday Night Football's long-used theme song, "Waiting All Day for Sunday Night," at a studio in Nashville.
Tripp Dixon, creative director of SNF's opening video said, “We are excited about this year’s new collaboration with Carrie, including scenes in the recording studio, and look forward to uniquely incorporating the game’s great fans.”
The 2020-2021 season is Underwood's eighth with Sunday Night Football. Fans will first get to see the new opening theme on September 13, when the Dallas Cowboys play the Los Angeles Rams in California.
