According to billboard.com, ESPN has gotten Marshmello to remix the classic Monday Night Football theme song ahead of the 2022-2023 NFL season. The DJ will release the first ever remix of the “Heavy Action” theme song on Monday night’s, September 12th, NFL broadcast across ESPN, ABC, ESPN2 and ESPN+, for the matchup between the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks at 8 p.m. ET. According to a statement made by Marshmello, “Working with ESPN is a dream come true as Monday Night Football and the NFL have been a part of my life ever since I can remember, Having the opportunity to put my own spin on an iconic song that NFL fans everywhere recognize was an amazing opportunity.” Kevin Wilson, the creative music director for ESPN added that, Our goal was to take the classic Monday Night Football music and add a contemporary vibe to it. To get there, we wanted to enlist an artist, a move we have never previously done with a ‘Heavy Action’ remix.”
Marshmello will also be responsible for soundtracking Monday Night Football’s weekly promotional spots as the network’s official NFL music curator. Marshmello will be starting with his new single “Grown Man” being used to welcome Russell Wilson back into Seattle for his first face-off with his former team. Just last month, Marshmello performed at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards with Khalid to perform their collaborative single “Numb.”
