Chad Powers Soundtrack Season 2 (2026) Guide
Chad Powers follows the spectacular downfall of Russ Holliday (Glen Powell), an arrogant star college quarterback whose promising football career is completely nuked after an unforgivable, highly publicized meltdown during a national championship game. Desperate for a second chance at redemption eight years later, Russ undergoes a radical physical transformation, utilizing a wig and facial prosthetics, to invent an eccentric, sweetly naive alter ego named Chad Powers. Posing as this talented oddball walk-on player, he successfully joins the struggling South Georgia Catfish football team, where he must navigate hilarious locker room dynamics, win over a skeptical coaching staff, and keep his true identity hidden from the public eye while trying to resurrect his shattered athletic dreams.
Packed with classic 80s stadium rock, hilarious locker-room singalongs, and throwback country hits, the soundtrack for Chad Powers Season 2 brings plenty of energy to the gridiron. The official trailer sets the tone with Whitesnake’s iconic rock anthem 'Here I Go Again,' preparing fans for another round of college football chaos. Across six episodes, the musical lineup blends vintage soul and hard-hitting party tracks to mirror the high-stakes absurdity of Russ Holliday’s undercover college career. This complete soundtrack guide details every song featured throughout Season 2, complete with episode breakdowns, scene context, and official streaming links.
Picking up the action with the South State Catfish, Season 2 puts Russ Holliday’s (Glen Powell) prosthetics and alter ego to the ultimate test after a mid-game injury. Early episodes feature great comedic moments, like Chad singing Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell’s 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough' in the locker room while quoting Remember the Titans. The bye-week house party in Episode 2 ramps up the nostalgia with Tim McGraw’s 'I Like It, I Love It,' Dire Straits’ 'Tunnel of Love,' and a hilarious rendition of Mike Jones and the Ying Yang Twins’ rap anthem 'Badd'.
