Carrie Underwood and Dierks Bentley are prepping to help NBC launch the new NFL season.

Underwood revealed a preview of the new opening theme song she recorded for NBC’s Sunday Night Football. The track, titled “Oh, Sunday Night,” is set to the music of her 2014 hit duet with Miranda Lambert, “Somethin’ Bad,” which was penned by Chris DeStefano, Brett James, and Priscilla Renea. Underwood and the trio of co-writer reworked the lyrics for Sunday Night Football. “Oh, Sunday Night” was produced by Mark Bright and DeStefano.

A sneak preview of the new song debuted this past Friday (Aug. 5) during the opening of the 2016 Rio Olympics on NBC and will continue to air throughout the Olympics (Aug. 5-21). The full theme song, “Oh, Sunday Night,” will debut on the first SNF telecast – Patriots at Cardinals on Sept. 11.

Meanwhile, Bentley will celebrate the start of the NFL season with a live performance during the first 2016 NFL Kick Off Presented by Hyundai, which will air on NBC and on NFL Network on Sept. 8 at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Bentley will be featured throughout the 60-minute pre game show along with One Republic from Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver, as he helps launch the season opener between the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos, in a rematch of Super Bowl 50.
