Saweetie is the first-ever female Monday Night Football music curator for ESPN
ESPN has announced that multi-platinum recording artist Saweetie will serve as the first-ever female music curator for Monday Night Football (MNF). Throughout the 2025-2026 NFL season, she will hand-pick tracks for select ESPN MNF games, featured in promotional spots, live telecasts, and Monday Night Countdown.
To kick things off, ESPN will bring the game-day energy to New York City with a one-day-only pop-up nail salon on Saturday, Septenber 6th, at 21 Greene St. from noon until 5 pm ET. Fans will have the chance to get game-inspired nail designs and gear up for the MNF season, which begins September 8th, when the Minnesota Vikings face the Chicago Bears.
“Football has always been in my blood, so I’m beyond grateful to be the first female curator for Monday Night Football on ESPN,” states Saweetie. “Pull up to the NYC pop-up on September 6th and get icy—fresh nails included—before the NFL season kicks off.”
Her track “Pressure” off her recently-released five-song EP Hella Pressure will be used in the Week 1 creative ahead of the Vikings versus the Bears.
Saweetie joins J Balvin from 2024, Timbaland & Justin Timberlake in 2023, Marshmello in 2022, Drake in 2021, DJ Khaled in 2020, and Diplo in 2019 as ESPN Monday Night Football music curators.
ESPN’s Monday Night Football returns for the 2025 NFL season with Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, Lisa Salters, and Laura Rutledge. ESPN’s NFL schedule will feature 25 games, headlined by 21 Monday Night Football games, a Week 18 Doubleheader Saturday, a Monday night Wild Card and Divisional playoff game.
