Mariachi Monumental de México will perform the United States national anthem before the Green Bay Packers host the Atlanta Falcons at Lambeau Field on Thursday, September 24, giving the Chicago-based ensemble a prominent NFL stage in Week 3.
The performance comes during Hispanic Heritage Month and adds another notable pregame moment to the NFL’s usual anthem tradition. For a group founded in Chicago in 2009, it is a high-profile appearance at one of the league’s most recognisable stadiums in the Midwest.
A leading mariachi group gets a national stage
Mariachi Monumental de México has described itself as “incredibly honored” to take part, saying the occasion highlights “mariachi music, Mexican culture, our families, our musicians, and our Chicago community.” It also called the appearance “another unforgettable chapter.”
The ensemble is known as a leading group in the regional Mexican and traditional mariachi genre, and Lambeau Field in Green Bay will now provide the backdrop for that music before the Falcons-Packers game kicks off at 8:15 pm ET.
What it adds to a Week 3 prime-time setting
While the focus on Thursday will be the Atlanta Falcons vs Green Bay Packers game, the anthem performance gives the night a wider cultural dimension. It is the sort of pregame detail that helps shape the atmosphere at major NFL events, especially when the spotlight is already bright on Lambeau Field.
For readers following the game itself, the schedule remains clear: the Falcons and Packers meet on Thursday, September 24 at 8:15 pm ET. For those interested in the broader build-up, related coverage includes Michael Penix Jr. returns for his 2026 debut as Falcons Vs Packers gets a sharp prime-time edge at Lambeau Field, CJ Carr to lead Notre Dame against Wisconsin at Lambeau Field, and $15 Million to $20 Million Green Bay Boost Expected as Wisconsin Vs Notre Dame Returns to Lambeau Field.
