Kasabian have reunited with Sky Sports to provide the anthem for the 2025/26 Premier League season. Sky Sports confirmed that a new version of the band’s track ‘G.O.A.T’, now featuring South London singer Cristale, will serve as the soundtrack to its football coverage.
The original song appeared on Kasabian’s 2024 album ‘Happenings’, but has since been reworked and remixed to fit its new role as the season’s anthem. Released on August 14 across streaming platforms, the track made its live debut at Anfield during the Liverpool v Bournemouth fixture on August 15, where fans heard the reimagined single played in the stadium ahead of kick-off.
Frontman Serge Pizzorno described the collaboration as an energising new chapter for the song. “It was electric teaming up with the incredibly talented Cristale on this track,” he said. “G.O.A.T is all about self-belief and chasing your dreams with everything you’ve got. We’re proud of what this song stands for. This one’s for everyone out there reaching for more, on and off the pitch.”
Cristale, widely tipped as one of the UK’s most exciting new voices in rap, adds her distinctive style to the single, giving it a sharper, more contemporary edge while maintaining Kasabian’s trademark high-energy sound. She has been making music since she was 19 and has quickly developed a strong fan base. She is most known for her track ‘Roadents’. Her involvement also underscores Sky Sports’ push to capture the spirit of the new season with music that resonates with both players and fans.
Sky Sports’ Director of Football Gary Hughes highlighted the importance of music in shaping the atmosphere of the coverage. “Music has played a major part in Sky’s football coverage since the very start,” he said. “It sets the tone and welcomes fans in. We have a long-standing relationship with the band and Club Foot is one of the most recognisable tracks we’ve used, so to be working with Kasabian again is fantastic. It’s the start of our biggest season yet with the Premier League and we feel this the perfect song to kick start it.”
‘Club Foot’, one of Kasabian’s early singles, was first used by Sky Sports as the theme for the 2009/10 season and has since become a fixture of football culture, later featuring in the FIFA 13 soundtrack. Its enduring association with the game reflects the band’s deep connection with the sport, not least through their own ties to their hometown club, Leicester City.
For Kasabian, whose mix of anthemic rock and electronic influences has earned them a reputation as one of the UK’s most dynamic live acts, ‘G.O.A.T’ marks another entry into football’s long tradition of memorable soundtracks. With Cristale’s contribution bringing fresh energy, the track looks set to become a defining part of the new Premier League season.
