For an unprecedented 20th season,
Hank Williams Jr. will be singing the opening theme for
Monday Night Football., starting with
ESPN's Sept. 8 double header of
Minnesota at
Green Bay (7 p.m. ET) and
Denver at
Oakland (10:15 p.m. ET). Williams first performed "All My Rowdy Friends Are Here on Monday Night" -- based on his hit song "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight" -- in 1989 during the 20th anniversary season of
MNF on ABC. Through the years, the
MNF intro segment has featured Williams in a variety of settings -- cruising the highway in a convertible with
Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, tapping with famed dancer
Savion Glover, even flying through outer space. After performing alongside an all-star band the past two years on ESPN, Williams will be a solo act this fall, welcoming fans to the weekly
MNF game with a house party theme.
