The game broadcast will begin at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN. Before the game, Grammy award-winning artist Coco Jones will perform the national anthem. “America the Beautiful” will be performed by the Spelman College Glee Club. Fittingly on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, his daughter Dr. Bernice A. King will participate int he coin toss.

After what feels like a lifetime of waiting, the best football of the season is here, and you expect good things when you sit down to watch the College Football Playoff National Championship. Hopefully, there’s a good game, and before everything gets started, there’s some excellent singing, too.
