As Super Bowl 57 inches closer, NFL fans can continue to get their football fix by tuning into this year’s Pro Bowl Games. With a brand new format spread across two days, there are a ton of exciting activities to look forward to. However, before the official games can take place, we need to get the Pro Bowl started with the singing of the national anthem. Who is singing the national anthem at the NFL Pro Bowl this year?
2023 NFL Pro Bowl: Who Is Singing the National Anthem?
This year, the NFL has brought in country superstar Jessie James Decker to sing the national anthem ahead of the Pro Bowl.
The name Decker may sound familiar to football fans, as Jessie James is actually the wife of former Bronco, Jets, and Titans wide receiver Eric Decker. The two actually starred in their very own reality show back in 2013 entitled Eric & Jessie: Game On.

Decker has been in the music industry since the young age of 15 and released her first major album back in 2009. On Oct. 13, 2017, she released her second full-length album and first for Epic Records, Southern Girl City Lights. On This Holiday, her first full-length Christmas album, was released on Oct. 26, 2018.
After releasing a few more EPs and going on a full-blown tour in August 2022, Decker released her most recent hit Grow Young With You.
Who Is Singing Lift Every Voice and Sing?
As has become customary at NFL games, there will also be a performance of Lift Every Voice and Sing ahead of the Pro Bowl. The NFL has invited the Las Vegas Academy Choir to perform the song.
With the game taking place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, it makes sense to bring in some local talent to perform on the biggest stage. In addition to the Las Vegas Academy Choir, there will also be performances from the famous Blue Man Group and DJ Esther Anaya.
