Story summary
The Buffalo Bills hosted the Detroit Lions in their first regular-season game at the newly built $2.1 billion Highmark Stadium on September 17, 2026, during an NFL Thursday Night Football match. To celebrate and honor their large Canadian fan base, the Barenaked Ladies performed "O Canada" before the game amidst escalating tensions between the U.S. and Canada due to a trade war. The Bills opened with a strong performance led by quarterback Josh Allen, who scored on a 1-yard touchdown run after an impressive 85-yard drive. Both anthems were sung acapella, followed by fireworks and light shows for added fan engagement.
