Ahead of tonight’s Monday Night Football double-header, ESPN has unveiled the new theme song for the program, which features hit country singer Chris Stapleton and beloved rapper Snoop Dogg signing a remix of Phil Collins’ iconic song “In the Air Tonight.”
The clip appears to only be a teaser, though, as Snoop Dogg can be seen in the video but does not say anything.

Stapleton has obviously developed a relationship with the National Football League after delivering an epic performance of the national anthem at last season’s Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.
This latest tune from Stapleton and Snoop is just the latest in a long line of Monday Night Football anthems, which were previously sung by the likes of Charles Foxm Johnny Pearson, Hank Williams Jr., Butcher Brown, and Marshmello.
Tonight’s Monday Night Football double-header will feature a matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns, and the New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers.
The Saints are three-point favorites on the road against the Carolina Panthers, while the Cleveland Browns are favored by two points on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Monday Night Football, of course, kicked off its 2023 season last week with a game between the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills, which will now be infamous for being the game in which Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles.
Despite losing Rodgers to the (likely) season-ending injury, the Jets were still able to overcome to Bills by a score of 22-16. That magic ran out over the weekend, though, as they got steamrolled by the Dallas Cowboys.
