who sings sunday night football

Carrie Underwood sings the "Sunday Night Football" theme song, titled "Waiting All Day for Sunday Night," which is a reworked version of Joan Jett's "I Hate Myself for Loving You." She has been the voice behind the theme since 2013, making 2024 her 12th consecutive season performing it. Underwood records all versions of the song in one session, including variations for different matchups throughout the NFL regular season and playoffs, though she typically only performs it during the regular season. The song and her performance have become a signature part of the NFL Sunday night broadcast on NBC
