The Monday Night Football game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago Bears had a unique beginning.
The national anthem was played by a mariachi band.
A mariachi band “plays” America’s national anthem before the Bears vs. Eagles Monday Night Football ???
Who’s bright idea was that ?

I did not have a mariachi band playing the National Anthem for Monday Night Football on my bingo card. I also didn’t expect it to be one of the best versions I’ve ever heard.
Wow. 🤯🙌🏼

Why in Holy Hell would the NFL have a Mexican band play OUR national anthem on Monday night football???
Totally disrespectful.— Michael Eggley (@MichaelEggley) September 29, 2026

The national anthem was performed by Mariachi Herencia de México.
The performance honored Hispanic Heritage Month.
Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15. It recognizes the history, culture and contributions of Americans whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.
