Monday Night Football is built on moments: big plays, loud crowds, and just enough spectacle to make the night feel larger than life. Before the Los Angeles Rams and Atlanta Falcons line up under the lights at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Monday, one of those moments will belong to CitiLimitz.
The rising R&B trio has been tapped to perform the national anthem, giving fans a soulful opening act before the Week 17 game.
Get to Know the National Anthem Performer at the Rams-Falcons Game
CitiLimitz is comprised of twin brothers Marion and A.T. Young, along with their first cousin, Dre. Raised together in the East Lake area of Chattanooga, Tennessee, they grew up in a household of 12 siblings where music was constant. They’ve long described themselves as brothers in every way that counts.
Their musical identity is steeped in classic soul and old-school R&B, particularly the smooth, harmony-driven sound of the 1990s. That influence traces back to their grandfather, a preacher who also sang in a gospel quartet. He introduced them to soul-based harmonization early on, teaching them how to blend voices, carry emotion, and respect the power of music as storytelling.
The foundation still defines CitiLimitz today.
The trio officially formed when they were just 12 years old, performing wherever opportunities popped up. Years of practice and persistence paid off in 2019, when they landed an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show”. The performance gave them their first taste of national exposure and hinted that their path might stretch far beyond Chattanooga.
That hint became reality in 2025, when CitiLimitz appeared on Season 20 of “America’s Got Talent”. Their audition, a cover of K-Ci & JoJo’s “All My Life,” earned yes votes from all four judges and drew particular praise from Mel B. The group advanced to the live shows as one of the final 44 acts, including Justin Timberlake’s “Cry Me a River”/
Their singles include “Say No More” (2023), “Wherever You Like” (2024), and “The Most” (2025). In 2025, they released two projects: “The Most” and a holiday album titled “Won’t Miss Christmas”. Their music is available across the big streaming platforms, where listeners have gravitated toward their throwback-meets-modern sound.
Their anthem performance will be before the game commences. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. EST at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
The Rams enter at 11-4, with Matthew Stafford and company still chasing the NFC’s top seed after a wild Week 16 loss in Seattle. Atlanta, sitting at 6-9 and eliminated from playoff contention, looks to play spoiler behind running back Bijan Robinson, who is putting together one of the most productive seasons in franchise history.
