ESPN is teaming with director Peter Berg (“Friday Night Lights”) in order to create a new opening for “Monday Night Football.” According to a press release, the one-minute, 30-second opening will incorporate some classic moments from the franchise’s 44-year history.

The new opening segment will debut on Sept. 9 at 6:55 p.m. EST during the regular-season “Monday Night Football” opening game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Redskins. It will air every Monday night before the game at 8:30 p.m.

“Monday Night Football has undeniably been an integral part of American culture for 44 years,” said ESPN executive producer Jed Drake. “This open beautifully captures many of the cultural touchstones that have run parallel to this great series, as we now head toward the half century mark. To this day, there’s no bigger, more important sports property than MNF.”
