Carrie Underwood is returning to Sunday Night Football for the 11th consecutive season.<\/p>\n
She will star in the show open beginning September 10th on NBC and Peacock.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love being the voice of Sunday Night Football because I grew up watching football\u2026from birth. I\u2019m from Oklahoma \u2013 we\u2019re a football state. It\u2019s just a part of the country that everybody has their teams and there\u2019s such an energy about it. We would drive down to Dallas and watch the Cowboys play whenever we could. There\u2019s just something about being at a live sporting event or watching it on TV. You have your favorites. They have their rivals. There\u2019s an excitement to it that really, it\u2019s unlike anything else, so being a small part of that is absolutely amazing. It\u2019s been so wonderful working with everybody at SNF, and I count myself very lucky and very blessed that I get to be a small part of something that I\u2019ve loved my whole life.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The new show open \u2013 headlined by an updated rendition of \u201cWaiting All Day for Sunday Night\u201d \u2013 features a concert performance interspersed with augmented reality highlights displayed across a halo scoreboard. Underwood, who performed the open from The Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas, home of her ongoing residency, REFLECTION, also adds a surprise new element this season.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce again, the incredible Sunday Night Football team came up with a fresh, exciting visual concept that really gave us a chance to play. I loved shooting the show open again this year at our home away from home, The Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas, and can\u2019t wait for another season of football!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
A preview of the new show open will broadcast during NBC’s Hall of Fame Game on Thursday, August 3.<\/p>\n
