The original singer of the iconic "Monday Night Football" theme song was country rocker Hank Williams Jr. In 1989, ABC debuted his reworked version of his single "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight," retitled "All My Rowdy Friends Are Here on Monday Night." This song became the opening theme for over two decades and earned Williams Jr. four Emmy Awards

. In recent years, the theme song changed. Since the 2023-24 NFL season, the Monday Night Football theme song has been a cover of Phil Collins' "In The Air Tonight," performed by an unlikely trio: country singer Chris Stapleton, rapper Snoop Dogg, and drummer Cindy Blackman Santana

. To summarize:

• Original and long-time theme (1989-2011, with some returns): Hank Williams Jr. with "All My Rowdy Friends Are Here on Monday Night"
• Current theme (2023-present): Chris Stapleton, Snoop Dogg, and Cindy Blackman Santana covering "In The Air Tonight"
