The soundtrack will play during the evening game’s promotional spots, live telecasts, and the pregame shows.
“Now we are here…the kickoff of the football season. And who better to curate music for Monday Night Football than Drake who sits firmly at the intersection of music and sports,” said ESPN’s Vice President of Sports Marketing, Emeka Ofodile. “We couldn’t be more excited for this upcoming collaboration. The music curator role has been a big hit with our fans with Diplo and DJ Khaled in previous years….and this season, we will be living inside the moment with Drake as our NFL on ESPN soundtrack.”
Drake is hot off the release of his latest album, Certified Lover Boy, which is set to debut at No. 1 next week on the Billboard 200 charts.
