ESPN College Football: The Emperor

ESPN announced that British singer, musician, songwriter and actor Yungblud will provide the musical backdrop for the 2022-23 college football season. The new single from the artist – ‘The Emperor’ – will serve as the anthem for ESPN’s college football coverage, which kicks off on August 27, ahead of Yungblud’s forthcoming self-titled album release on September 2 (Locomotion/Geffen Records). This continues the collaboration between ESPN and IGA, which includes tracks that have been featured for ESPN’s coverage of the NBA postseason, previous college football seasons, and more. Previous artists to soundtrack the anthem include Imagine Dragons (Natural), Juice WRLD (Come & Go) and Thirty Seconds To Mars (Walk On Water). The music from the labels’ biggest artists will be featured within ESPN’s college football programming, promotion and games again this season.
