ESPN has named Shaboozey's latest single, "High Noon" featuring Gunna, as the official anthem for the upcoming 2026‑27 college football season, a designation that will see the track woven into the network's extensive broadcast lineup.
The song will be heard across ESPN, ABC and the SEC Network, underscoring a partnership that aligns the network's sports coverage with a fresh musical identity. A newly released promotional video, timed to the anthem's midnight debut on July 30, showcases a montage of iconic stadiums, cheering crowds and familiar faces from the broadcast booth.
A Musical Boost for College Football
The opening frame of the video spotlights Neyland Stadium, home of the Tennessee Volunteers, before moving through a parade of venues that will host the season's 1,000‑plus games. Commentators such as Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit, Rece Davis and Pat McAfee appear throughout, lending their voices to the excitement.
Shaboozey expressed enthusiasm about the anthem's role in game‑day traditions, noting that the track's release at midnight on July 30 marks a cultural milestone for college football fans. The song is part of his album "The Outlaw Cherie Lee & Other Western Tales", a project that blends contemporary rap with western storytelling.
The 2026‑27 season will open on August 29 with a historic matchup in Dublin between the North Carolina Tar Heels and Texas Christian University, a game that will kick off at noon ET and set the tone for a year of high‑profile contests.
