For the eighth consecutive year, the 22nd Annual Super Bowl Gospel Celebration will air on BET during Super Bowl LV week on Saturday, February 6th at 8/7c.
The theme “Nothing Can Stop Us” is the inspirational message for this highly anticipated night of praise and worship during Super Bowl LV. This year’s event will be hosted by national radio and TV personality Rickey Smiley and feature performances by The NFL Players Choir, Erica Campbell, Voices of Fire presented by Pharrell Williams, PJ Morton, Kierra Sheard, Koryn Hawthorne, Zacardi Cortez, and an exclusive performance by gospel music pioneer and living legend John P. Kee. Additionally, the show will feature appearances from NFL Players Desean Jackson-Philadelphia Eagles WR and Dak Prescott – Dallas Cowboys QB.
The Super Bowl Gospel Celebration will present Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson with this year’s “Faith In Action Award.”
The son of a courageous cancer survivor, Watson is one of the NFL’s
youngest philanthropists and is committed to causes that support
families and youth in underserved communities.
In collaboration with the Super Bowl Gospel Celebration, the American Cancer Society
will highlight the need to eliminate barriers to prevention and
treatment in the black community during the broadcast. African Americans
have the lowest survival rate for most cancers, and the pandemic has
caused a devastating drop in cancer screenings. Viewers will be
encouraged to donate during the show on BET by texting HOPE to 20222 to
donate $10 to the American Cancer Society.
