Carrie Underwood is returning to Sunday Night Football on Sept. 9 with a brand-new theme song, “Game On.”

Carrie will be opening the SNF broadcast for the sixth year as she teams with a bevy of NFL players, including Jared Goff, Kirk Cousins, Saquon Barkley, Carson Wentz, Lane Johnson, Zach Ertz, Fletcher Cox, Antonio Brown and Russell Wilson.

In previous years, Carrie performed versions of “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night,” which was based on Joan Jett’s “I Hate Myself for Loving You,” as well as “Oh, Sunday Night,” which was based on her 2014 duet with Miranda Lambert, “Somethin’ Bad.”

SNF shared a clip of Carrie performing “Game On” via Instagram, which you can watch below.
