The plan is for their musical selections to be featured in promotional spots, live telecasts, and pregame shows for seven weeks starting with the September 11 opener featuring the Buffalo Bills vs. New York Jets. The curation will kick off its Week 1 promotional spot with Timberlake and Timbaland’s new single with Nelly Furtado, ”Keep Going Up,” set to drop Friday, September 1.
The last time this trio collaborated was on their 2007 hit “Give It To Me,” and we’re all better for it.
“Football and music go hand-in-hand, like the iconic Timbaland and Justin Timberlake duo, who collaborate on music to near perfection,” Curtis Friends, ESPN's senior director of sports marketing, said in a statement. "ESPN’s 'Monday Night Football' music curatorship is popular with fans given the access this partnership provides to new and unexpected combinations of music with sport. We’ve had Diplo, DJ Khaled, Drake, and Marshmello and this fifth season, for the first time, we have two curators in Timbaland/JT we know will energize all us fans for this NFL football season.”
