The NFL and Roc Nation revealed the league’s playlist for the 2025 Songs of the Season ahead of week one on Thursday (Aug. 28).
The season-long initiative is led by Clipse’s Let God Sort Em Out single “Ace Trumpets,” along with tracks such as Flau’jae and Waka Flock Flame’s “Courtside,” DJ Snake and J Balvin’s “Noventa” and HDBEENDOPE’s ode to Master P with “Percy Miller.”
“Music is central to the way fans experience the NFL, and Songs of the Season is one way we bring that connection to life,” said Angela Ellis, who serves as the NFL’s vice president of original content and entertainment, in a statement.
She continued: “Together with Roc Nation, we’re celebrating artists who shape culture, giving players and fans a soundtrack that reflects the energy of the game.”
Other artists making the playlist’s cut include Hardrock, Bootsy Collins, Dorothy, Clark D, Nico the Owl and Rhyan Besco. Music from Songs of the Season will be integrated across NFL social platforms, in-game broadcasts and stadiums for all 32 franchises.
The NFL posted a TikTok previewing the pivotal opening Sunday Night Football matchup between AFC heavyweights, with the Baltimore Ravens traveling to western New York to take on the Buffalo Bills in week one, which is soundtracked by Clipse’s Pharrell-produced “Ace Trumpets.”
Songs of the Season works in tandem with the league’s Inspire Change platform, which supports social justice initiatives.
Travis Kelce shook up the sports media landscape earlier this week with his engagement to Taylor Swift, but the 2025 NFL season gets underway in Philly next Thursday night (Sept. 4)., when the Dallas Cowboys collide with the defending Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles.
