MLD The main theme music for ITV's football coverage is often the iconic song "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve (or a cover version). However, the specific song played during advert breaks or highlights can vary depending on the match and the particular segment.
ITV has also previously used other well-known songs for their coverage, such as U2's "Beautiful Day" for their Premiership programme in the early 2000s. More recently, in 2024, ITV commissioned Polish pianist Hania Rani to create an original composition for the opening credits of their England national team matches.
