Which TV channel shows Monday Night Football?
Monday Night Football had its halcyon years between 1970 and 2005 when it was a staple of ABC programming.
Since then the primetime matchup has aired on ESPN and it is still pretty easy to get access to.
As well as watching on cable, you can get to it via a number of streaming services including Fubo TV, Sling TV, YouTube TV and Hulu. There is also a Spanish language version of the telecast on ESPN Deportes.

If you’re watching online, you can catch Monday Night Football on ESPN Watch on all major platforms.
ESPN has a pretty fresh look in its broadcast booth (as of 2022) with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman making the leap to the ‘Worldwide Leader’ for massive dollars.
The pair – who had been the number 1 team on FOX for seemingly forever – now pair up under the brightest lights of all on the iconic Monday Night Football platform.
- Aikman is now reportedly the game’s highest broadcaster on a deal worth $95million over five years, surpassing another former Cowboy in Tony Romo over at CBS.
- Buck is reportedly on a five-year deal worth $65million. Not too shabby.
The news meant that NBC vet Al Michaels – who bolted Sunday Night Football after a terrific run – now appears on Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime.
Meanwhile the Manning brothers Eli and Peyton have proved a real hit doing an alternative telecast on ESPN2 for some games. Lisa Salters currently staffs up the sideline.
During its glory days the likes of Frank Gifford, Michaels (in a previous life) and John Madden made MNF THE game of the week for America – it became an institution. Aikman and Buck coming on board returns it to something like that status for the first time in many years.
The product has lost some of its lustre in recent years – there have been some failed experiments in the booth (‘Booger’ McFarland and Jason Witten anyone?) and the schedule is often pretty average.
The lack of ability to flex games means what looks a good scheduling choice in August looks pretty awful by October. As a result MNF has fallen some way behind Sunday Night Football in the pecking order.
There have been reports that games can be flexed from Week 12 on – but it has to be done with at least 12 days’ notice. Moving a few hours on a Sunday is manageable – moving a game a full day into a work week for most of America has all sorts of knock-on…
