Since the inception of TV, many shows opening theme is a calling card for its fans. It is something that you can hear and instantly be taken to a time where some of your favorite sports memories happened. Some famous TV sport themes not only conjure up memories of games past, but put you in the mood for some sports.

Below are our top 8 TV sports themes of all-time (in no particular order), enjoy!

1. CBS College Football Theme

Funny how you can almost use sports themes to know what season it is. When you hear this one, you know it’s Fall and you know its College Football Season!

2. ESPN Sportscenter

There aren't many TV sports themes that we go to bed listening too, and wake up first thing in the morning to hear it!

3. Monday Night Football

A sports culture classic…no words needed here.

4. NBA on NBC

One of my personal favorites, this song brings back memories of Jordan dominating the game of basketball and some of the better rivalries of all-time.

5. CBS College Basketball

Again, another sports theme that lets you know we’re heading in to spring and to the wonderful month of March Madness.

6. NFL on CBS

Yet another classic sports theme. Now, if only we could get it to play over Shannon Sharpe when he opens his mouth.

7. ESPN Baseball Tonight

ESPN Baseball Tonight is one of the better shows out there for baseball coverage. Once you hear this little jingle, Peter Gammons is sure to follow.

8. Olympics Theme

The Olympics theme is an amazing opening theme for one of the most amazing sporting events in the world.

Those rounds out the list, but feel free to submit your own favorite sport theme.
