Carrie Underwood may have the honor of singing the new theme to Sunday Night Football on Sept. 11 as the Patriots take on the Cardinals, but Dierks Bentley has been tapped to help kick off the NFL season on Sept. 8 as the Carolina Panthers tangle with the Denver Broncos.

Dierks will celebrate the start of the NFL season and the Broncos Super Bowl championship with a special live performance during the first 2016 NFL Kick Off on NBC and the NFL Network on Sept. 8 at 7:30 p.m. ET.

In addition to performing, Dierks will be featured throughout the 60-minute pre-game show.

Now, who’s ready for some football?
