Buffalo Bills to play U.S. and Canadian anthems at opening game

The Buffalo Bills this week announced that the team would play both the American national anthem and the Canadian national anthem at the opening game amid an ongoing trade row.

For the first time in Highmark Stadium history, we will celebrate the American and Canadian anthems during pregame. We can’t wait to have Bills fan Auliʻi Cravalho and [Barenaked Ladies] at our home opener!" the team posted on X.

Highmark Stadium is situated near the border crossing into Canada. Several members of the team are from Canada or hold dual-citizenship.

The team announced their first-ever draft pick from Canada in April.
