At this point, it’s really anyone’s guess as to who will return. Even though Luke Bryan has a great time on the show, it’s hard to tell if he will be up to returning, as well as Carrie Underwood. There’s no word on Lionel Richie thinking about leaving, so he is probably safe. But as for Bryan, all fans really have to do is wait and see:

She's back! Carrie Underwood has officially confirmed that she's returning to the opening of Sunday Night Football in 2025. The singer and SNF both confirmed the news in a social media post. This marks the 13th straight season that Underwood has held the gig. Details are sparse at this point on what 2025 has in store.

"American Idol" Season 4 winner Carrie Underwood will join Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan as a judge on Season 23 nearly 20 years after her win.
