ATLANTA, GA – Returning to BET Networks for the seventh consecutive year on Saturday, February 1, 2020, the 21st Annual Super Bowl Gospel Celebration will be hosted by national radio and TV personality Rickey Smiley. The annual NFL-Sanctioned event will film in front of a live audience during Super Bowl LIV week on Thursday, January 30, 2020 at the James L. Knight Center and premiere exclusively on BET Networks on Saturday, February 1, 2020, at 8:00 PM ET/PT.
The one-hour special will feature
performances by the NFL Players Choir, a reunion of the legendary
group Commissioned, Donnie McClurkin, Travis Greene and BET’s Sunday

III (Season 9).
During the program, NFL brothers and
American Cancer Society ambassadors Quinnen Williams (New York Jets)
and Quincy Williams (Jacksonville Jaguars) will be honored with
the “Faith In Action” Award. The Williams brothers lost their mother to
breast cancer in 2010 and have turned their tragedy into triumph by
donating their time and resources to ensuring that African Americans
receive proper testing for cancer in urban communities.

in 1999, the Super Bowl Gospel Celebration joins together key NFL
Players, top Gospel/Contemporary Christian and mainstream GRAMMY®
