I'm surprised they ranked it so low along with NFL on Fox. I mean don't get me wrong SNF has the best theme but seriously why put NHL on NBC and NFL on Fox so low? Also where's NBA on NBC?
Hearing is one of the stronger senses that brings back a memory, smelling is too, like getting a whiff of something from your childhood it’ll bring back so many memories
Man I’ve only watched a bit of hockey this year but that NHL on NBC theme feels so nostalgic to me The MLB of FOX one got me in the feels Edit: NHL on ESPN goes hard af
@@duffal0 I think MLB on Fox used to play in the early 2010s and I was pissed when they got rid of Fox Sports Network for Bally Sports but I quickly got used to it, I like the scores being directly at the bottom without potentially blocking anything
Missing: NBA on NBC (Roundball Rock) NHL on ESPN The original Hockey Night in Canada NFL on CBS, late-1980s "Pots and Pans" Monday Night Football (Heavy Action) Also, the original version of the CBS NCAA, not the current remix that just vamps over the same couple of bars ad nauseum.
College Basketball on ESPN 2011-2016 was always my favorite. Whenever it was the conference tournaments, it was awesome to hear that theme for the Horizon League conference championship.
LOL yeah it's nothing like waking up on a late Sunday morning getting ready for some NFL football by hearing your local and National analysts talk about your favorite teams and the days match ups!.. definitely one of the best days to look forward to my football season comes around
The fact that the classic MNF theme is not on here is not only a travesty, but shows just how in the moment we have become. Sure, some great themes on here, but the cold, piano intro of MNF was a fixture for decades! I love it when they break it out still today!
Out of the 15 on this list: 1) CBS College Football 2) Thursday Night Football (2009-13) 3) CBS College Basketball 4) NHL on NBC 5) NFL on CBS 6) MLB on Fox 7) NFL on Fox 8) ESPN College Football 9) ESPN College Basketball 10) NBA on TNT 11) Thursday Night Football (CBS era) 12) Sunday Night Football 13) MLB on TBS 14) NBA on ESPN 15) World Series on FOX Since you didn’t limit yourself to current themes, I’d bump the bottom few for the NBA on NBC (#1), NHL on ESPN (#6), the second-to-most recent NFL on CBS theme (#12), and the ABC College Football theme (the “Marching Band” version that was also used for Basketball) (#15).
My personal top 10: 10. Monday Night Football The most iconic theme song in all of North American sports. Fight me on this one if you'd like, but I think it deserves a mention. 9. Hockey Night In Canada (2014-present) Yeah, I'm a Canadian. We have some really good sports songs north of the border. 8. NHL on NBC This one can get you really pumped. Excellent song for hockey broadcasts. 7. NFL on CBS (1991-93, 1998-2003) I love the opening part of this song. Sadly, no good recordings of this seem to exist. 6. FOX NFL This song just screams football. It's been going strong for 25 years, and will likely keep going forever. 5. NBA on NBC UrinatingTree introduced me to this wonderful song. While I'm not so keen to put Roundball Rock any higher, I understand why so many people love it to death. 4. Thursday Night Football (2009-13) I miss the Christmas bells and epic orchestration of this one. NFLN still uses it occasionally for a few of their programs, but I feel that they need to make this the theme of TNF again. 3. ESPN Sunday Night NFL (mid-1990's) Best NFL theme of them all. How this one didn't make it into this video baffles me. 2. FOX MLB (1996-2010 for national broadcasts, still used for team-specific broadcasts) Why the hell did FOX replace this with the NFL theme? As much as I love the FOX NFL song, this fits baseball better and is actually a better song in general. 1. CBS College Football/SEC on CBS This, right here, is the pinnacle of sports themes. I love it to death, and I don't even watch collegiate sports.
Recently in 2022 roundball rock is a classic but no one can deny the NHL returning to ESPN is legendary. When you heard those drums go off you knew it was go-time
the MLB on Fox theme is back in 2020, also that theme was also used between 2009 and 2020 on Fox Sports Regional Networks such as Fox Sports Kansas City
The NBA on NBC theme by John Tesh is the best of all time and it’s not even close. Some good choices on this list for sure, but without the best this list is too flawed to be valid.
MLB on Fox brought back this cool version! Not copying off NFL anymore. Jon Miller/Joe Morgan Sunday Night Baseball 2000s, ESPN College basketball 2000s, college basketball on CBS, NBA Finals on ABC, MLB on TBS are my favorites.
Dude like no joke my dad when we watch Cincinnati play on CBS he turns the TV up on sports mode to like 80 and scares the shit out of me still and he's been doing it for 5 years
Dad: Son turn this off
Son: Why
Dad: We have bigger speakers in the basement

I WAS GONNA COMMENT THAT IM SO HAPPY SOMEONE ELSE DID AND GOT RECOGNIZED FOR IT CUZ I SURE WOULDNT (WHY AM I STILL TYPING IN ALL CAPS)
Uhaho
That's not true exercise. Banging on the drums is.
Lol
NHL on NBC is top five for me especially during playoffs it just has that feeling of playoff hockey. Get chills
#1 for me
I'm surprised they ranked it so low along with NFL on Fox. I mean don't get me wrong SNF has the best theme but seriously why put NHL on NBC and NFL on Fox so low? Also where's NBA on NBC?
Apache Helicopter Olympics? World Cup?
i don’t watch hockey like at all during the regular season but playoff hockey is a must watch especially if my sharks are in the playoffs
Playoff hockey is hands down the best things in sports. College football is a close 2nd tho.
If you’re a fan of an SEC college football team, that CBS college football theme is just a special sound.
An amazing piece of music.
A good way to watch Vanderbilt get blown out.
@@doncarpenter1040 Hell yeah. There was no doubt in my mind that it wouldn't be number 1, until I saw that it wasn't.
@@ryanjustice2670 The creator of this vid must not be a SEC fan

NBA on TNT= Mario Kart music
LMAOOOOOOOOOOO
And there’s nothing wrong with that
They all good, but the NFL on CBS during thanksgiving is a different vibe
Favts facts facts
oh hell yes

That screams Lions getting embarrassed on national television.
It's epic, maybe a little too epic for some people but it's one of the only themes I can think of being played during a battle.
Number 1: Sunday night football on NBC - theme by John Williams
“The force is strong with this one”
I recorded and mixed that :)
I thought it had March on the Jedi Temple vibes 💀
Yo I got mad nostalgia from the college basketball on ESPN from (2011-2016) underrated
Forgot about that one 😢
This guy has non functional ears dude
games going on during the week or the usual Saturday night ranked game hits different
Yeah baby!
Nothing better than good weather on an Autumn day hearing the College Football theme
SEC on CBS
its going to the big 10 now:( @@holasoyalejandro9822
SEC on CBS is laughably low and MLB on TBS is nauseating
ringworm9 fax
TBS is good
TBS coverage is OK, but their baseball music is lousy. I’m with ringworm9 on that.
tbs sounds like shark tank or am I crazy
Matthew Foote oh damn u right i never thought of that😂
Hey where is NBA on NBC? That was a classic.
Cbs March madness theme had me with actual tears
especially after missing it this season
Every one of these bring back memories. So crazy how we connect music with a time ,place or thing .
Hearing is one of the stronger senses that brings back a memory, smelling is too, like getting a whiff of something from your childhood it’ll bring back so many memories
Man I’ve only watched a bit of hockey this year but that NHL on NBC theme feels so nostalgic to me
The MLB of FOX one got me in the feels
Edit: NHL on ESPN goes hard af
Never heard the MLB one but then again who has lol. NBA on TNT and NFL on NBC the best
@@duffal0 I think MLB on Fox used to play in the early 2010s and I was pissed when they got rid of Fox Sports Network for Bally Sports but I quickly got used to it, I like the scores being directly at the bottom without potentially blocking anything
Fox absolutely needs to bring back the baseball theme. No idea why they decided to use the football theme as a generic catch all.
Because Generic defines FOX, and luckily they brought it back!
They did
NFL on Fox, on a cool crisp October or September afternoon😍😍
november too
Until they said you know what play this theme for all the sports
On Sunday afternoon, after you'd heard the MLB one on Saturday. Those were the days
It’s always a Cowboys, Packers, or Seahawks game too
@@anthonywnek Fox is normally NFC and CBS AFC so yes.
NBA ON TNT JUST GOT DISRESPECTED NO CAP
NO 🧢🧢🧢🧢
Yes sir
It’s not that good
being played on a 3ds
Kinda sounds like it should belong in a Wii game tbh
CBS College football > anything else
Facts
AND AFTER 2024 WE DONT GET TO HEAR IT😭😤
That's one of the best and the longest since 87 I think. It was originally the CBS NFL theme.
The 3 Prankskateers SEC don’t matter they had it before when the big East was around
Kyles face is definitely how I feel hearing the old mlb fox theme.

NFL on CBS, late-1980s "Pots and Pans"
Monday Night Football (Heavy Action)
Also, the original version of the CBS NCAA, not the current remix that just vamps over the same couple of bars ad nauseum.
NHL on ESPN being left off is a travesty
American list, they're never gonna feature OG HNIC even though its basically the second Canadian national anthem.
College Basketball on ESPN 2011-2016 was always my favorite. Whenever it was the conference tournaments, it was awesome to hear that theme for the Horizon League conference championship.
SEC ON CBS SHOULD BE NUMBER ONE!!!! PERIOD!!!!
Yeah but like SNF was composed by John Williams
Ok bama fan
Andrew K um no that’s a very popular opinion from even non sec fans

No NBA on Nbc Is Number One All Time
NHL on NBC is underrated
Only to hockey fans
Lets go Pens
CBS college football is the best by a WIDE margin.
Wilson Key yes sir ✊🏼
You are very correct
Exactly right. I mean they put it at #8 behind ESPN NBA theme? Their ears must not be functional; like not even in the same universe.
Wilson Key, Ironically first used by CBS for Super Bowl XXI Giants vs Broncos
Yep, and nothing else comes close
Anyone else think of the certain announcers or great moments from these themes, like I can just hear Al Michaels on the NBC theme
Rydawg 26 i hear chris fowler with college playoff theme, i bear verne and gary with the cbs
NHL on NBC. Eddie and Doc
Mahomes winds up and I going to launch downfield to watKINS SAMMY WATKINS FOR THE TOUCHDOWN
Tony romo
@@cadenstephens138 if you’re thinking about Mahomes as nostalgic you gotta be 7 years old lmao.
MLB on Fox is unparalleled. Glad they brought it back.
You put the MLB-TBS theme on number nine over the fox-MLB classic theme. Wow, this is heresy.
No MLB theme will ever top the MLB on FOX theme from 96-09. Personally, I would say no sports theme would top it, but, that's just me.
Right? This theme defines baseball!
Even more heresy is excluding NFL on Fox from the podium.
Tbs theme is awesome and at least original. Fox baseball
Just uses the nfl theme . Lazy.
CBS College Basketball - number 1 and it's not even close. It's an atrocity that it's number 2 on this list.
agreed
Sammy Sharps this theme sucks
I'm not sure what the heck your talking about
It should be like 12
Sunday night football is the best
Its too happy to be number 1, nbc on sunday makes me want to eat another mans heart
👍🏻
Where is NBA on NBC?!!
Immediately disregarded this when they didnt include NBA on NBC which is top 5
In the 90s
KingSkyLord Thank you! Truly the greatest!
Nate Zukoski it should of been number one, it’s the best
WHO? NBA ON NBC??
I love the NFL ON FOX theme song number 1 for me
I only Like the fox NFL theme.
4KT.Fabian_ it’s so Overrated
Peter Elder how? It’s god tier
Call me crazy, but NFL on Fox makes me think about the Sleigh Ride Christmas song. ‘Giddy Yup, giddy yup, giddy up let’s go, let’s look at the show’
LOL yeah it's nothing like waking up on a late Sunday morning getting ready for some NFL football by hearing your local and National analysts talk about your favorite teams and the days match ups!.. definitely one of the best days to look forward to my football season comes around
This list is invalid without NBA on NBC. Greatest theme of all time.
True!!
Its now used for FOX College Hoops
NFL and college football on cbs is way too low. My personal favorite is cbs college basketball. Really missing that rn 😢
Savage Carlos we all are😢
I love how CBS has used the same college football theme for 30+ years. I wish they'd go back to the old ncaa tournament music from the early 90s
NFL on FOX is waaaay too low
I agree
4 real, i grew up on this. and im even not from the states!
Not really, I like CBS, NBC, and MNF more than it
Me realizing this theme is from nfl
Absolutely love the Sunday night football theme
Chris S The best!
Until you realize you have school/work Tomorrow
CBS College Football is CLEARLY #1 (and then CBS college basketball or ESPN college football a distant second).
As far as pump up factor; CBS college football theme is on par with "Eye of the Tiger".
I’d put NFL on ESPN there just because of those mad nostalgic fantasy football draft flashbacks
The US Open golf theme from NBC is rarely heard anymore but I love it. Slept on classic theme song
Sorry real sports only :)
The fact that the classic MNF theme is not on here is not only a travesty, but shows just how in the moment we have become. Sure, some great themes on here, but the cold, piano intro of MNF was a fixture for decades! I love it when they break it out still today!
You need the Olympics theme from nbc
go Irish and also go bucks and also muck fichigan
Mike Biederman Go Irish☘️

William Yeager Sunday night football is kinda low, for me it’d be much higher
My personal top 10:
10. Monday Night Football
The most iconic theme song in all of North American sports. Fight me on this one if you'd like, but I think it deserves a mention.
9. Hockey Night In Canada (2014-present)
Yeah, I'm a Canadian. We have some really good sports songs north of the border.
8. NHL on NBC
This one can get you really pumped. Excellent song for hockey broadcasts.
7. NFL on CBS (1991-93, 1998-2003)
I love the opening part of this song. Sadly, no good recordings of this seem to exist.
6. FOX NFL
This song just screams football. It's been going strong for 25 years, and will likely keep going forever.
5. NBA on NBC
UrinatingTree introduced me to this wonderful song. While I'm not so keen to put Roundball Rock any higher, I understand why so many people love it to death.
4. Thursday Night Football (2009-13)
I miss the Christmas bells and epic orchestration of this one. NFLN still uses it occasionally for a few of their programs, but I feel that they need to make this the theme of TNF again.
3. ESPN Sunday Night NFL (mid-1990's)
Best NFL theme of them all. How this one didn't make it into this video baffles me.
2. FOX MLB (1996-2010 for national broadcasts, still used for team-specific broadcasts)
Why the hell did FOX replace this with the NFL theme? As much as I love the FOX NFL song, this fits baseball better and is actually a better song in general.
1. CBS College Football/SEC on CBS
This, right here, is the pinnacle of sports themes. I love it to death, and I don't even watch collegiate sports.
A few left out, NBA on NBC, NHL on FOX, NBA on FSN (2 versions)
World Series on fox is top 5 easy
bro wheres the NASCAR on FOX theme at? and why is the NFL on FOX theme so low?
This joker doesn't know how to make a true list. NASCAR on Fox theme 🔥 and SEC on CBS should be #1
AZtronics Seriously. And also forgot NBA on NBC, probably the most iconic network sports theme in history. Terrible list.
Recently in 2022 roundball rock is a classic but no one can deny the NHL returning to ESPN is legendary. When you heard those drums go off you knew it was go-time

MLB on fox is easily top 5 and wayyyy over mlb on tbs

Because it’s not very good.
I WAS LOOKING FOR NFL ON FOX THEME THE WHOLE DAY i finally found it and i knew i heard it some where
CBS college football theme is the GOAT! Such a banger
5:03 “welcome to the swamp as Florida hosts Georgia for a beautiful midday matchup.”
Since when did Florida host Georgia in the swamp? That’s always in Jacksonville.
Man, the NFL on Fox theme had me feeling some kind of way...back when I was about that life.
I listened to this video all the time in 2020 when we didn’t have sports and it helped me through
5:04 anytime I hear this I know when it’s gonna be a good game
On a Saturday fall afternoon
NBA on NBC anyone?
I am disappointed NBA on NBC did not make this list.
One truly forgotten one is the BCS theme. Imo that one is the most underrated of all time.
#2 got me in that March Madness feeling
This is missing the Canadian intro for CBC Hockey night in Canada and NBA on NBC
Fox on NFL is always going to be my all-time favorite.
