Carrie Underwood has been the voice of NBC’s Sunday Night Football since 2013, when she replaced Faith Hill with her rendition of “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night.” As the 2026 season kicks off on September 13 with the Giants facing the Cowboys, Underwood will debut a new version of the anthem.
She described the track as part of her “rock star fever dream,” praising the production team for capturing both the spirit of the song and her love of rock music.
NBC producer Tripp Dixon explained that this year’s opening draws inspiration from Joan Jett’s “I Hate Myself for Loving You,” the original source of the anthem, and blends it with Underwood’s rock influences.
He emphasized that her high‑energy performance sets the stage for the NFL’s biggest teams and players. Despite the creative refresh, some fans have voiced fatigue, arguing that it’s time for a new performer to take over the role.
Critics point to Underwood’s long tenure and her past political performances as reasons for change, while others simply want a fresh voice. Suggestions have ranged from country star Lainey Wilson to a male act that matches the adrenaline of football culture.
Still, NBC appears committed to keeping Underwood in place, ensuring her presence remains a staple of the primetime broadcast even as debate continues among viewers.
