Multi-media star Carrie Underwood will star in NBC’s Sunday Night Football Show Open for her 10th consecutive season premiering in September.
The 8-time Grammy Award winner performed the show open from The Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas, home of “Reflection,” her ongoing residency, which featured an updated rendition of the famous “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night.”
Unlike past seasons, the show open will spotlight the energy surrounding each Sunday Night Football game, while a devoted film crew captures the atmosphere leading up to kickoff with fan tailgates, player arrivals, game prep, and scenes from the host city.
“Performing the show open for Sunday Night Football for 10 years has been such a joy and privilege for me,” says Underwood. “It’s always a fun day when we shoot the new open—our amazing creative team somehow manages to top themselves year after year.”
“We are thrilled to mark a decade working with Carrie and are excited to introduce game-day scenes from the host city and stadium into the show open,” says Tripp Dixon, who has served as creative director of the SNF show open for each of the past 10 years.
The Sunday Night Football show open, primetime television’s No. 1 program for an unmatched 11 consecutive years, will debut on Sunday, Sept. 11 on NBC and Peacock preceding Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers visiting Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys.
