Mumford & Sons release new album ‘Prizefighter’ !

Mumford & Sons are pleased to release their sixth studio album, Prizefighter. The record is released today via Island Records. The record was co-written and co-produced alongside The National’s Aaron Dessner at his Long Pond Studio in upstate New York.

Watch the new video for The Banjo Song here. It was directed and produced by the Bristol based events collective, Streets of Soul, who cast the dancers solely from clubbers they’d met at their Bristol Northern Soul Club nights.

Prizefighter follows the 2025 release of RUSHMERE, which debuted at number 1 in March..

Prizefighter captures the band at their most open and instinctive. It’s a collection that feels both deeply personal, instinctive and unguardedly communal. Marcus Mumford’s lyrics grapple with resilience and striving, singing with a mix of confidence and urgency.

Marcus Mumford: “We feel like we’re hitting our prime as a creative force. We’re putting everything we have into this now, and we’re using everything about our experience so far to embrace exactly who we are. We’re comfortable in our skins these days. And Prizefighter is us going for it - serious and playful, sometimes bruised and always hopeful. We’re nowhere near done yet.”

“I hope and believe and we’re in the beginning of something we don’t want to let up on. I’m more excited to be in this band than I’ve ever been.”
