Mumford & Sons Confirm New Album ‘Prizefighter’

Just seven months after releasing their 2025 record Rushmere, Mumford & Sons announced a new album, Prizefighter, due out on February 13 via Glassnote Records. The English band previewed the LP last week with the single, “Rubber Band Man,” featuring Hozier.

Mumford & Sons — Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett and Ted Dwane — teamed back up with The National‘s Aaron Dessner to co-produce Prizefighter, with sessions taking place at Dessner’s Long Pond Studio in upstate New York. Aaron worked with the band on their 2015 album Wilder Mind.

Dessner also guests on the record alongside Hozier, Gracie Abrams, Chris Stapleton, Gigi Perez. Marcus Mumford further detailed Prizefighter:

“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 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.”
