What Channel is Monday Night Football On? The Basics

Alright, let's cut to the chase. The primary channel for Monday Night Football (MNF) is, and always has been, ESPN. That's your go-to source for all the live action, pre-game shows, and post-game analysis you could ever want. Now, depending on your cable or satellite provider, you'll find ESPN on different channel numbers, so it's always a good idea to double-check your local listings. But generally speaking, ESPN is a staple in most basic cable packages, making it widely accessible to millions of viewers across the country.

  • Cable and Satellite: Traditional cable and satellite providers like Comcast, Spectrum, and DirecTV carry ESPN. If you already have one of these services, you're set. Just tune in to the ESPN channel on Monday nights. Make sure you check your channel guide. Each provider will list it differently.
  • Streaming Services: This is where it gets interesting! Several streaming services offer ESPN as part of their packages. These include:
    • ESPN+: While ESPN+ offers a lot of sports content, including some live games, it does not include Monday Night Football. You need a separate service like Hulu + Live TV, Sling, or YouTube TV.
    • Hulu + Live TV: This is an excellent option that combines Hulu's on-demand library with live TV, including ESPN.
    • Sling TV: Sling offers various packages, and you can add ESPN through its Orange or Blue packages, depending on your other channel preferences.
    • YouTube TV: Another popular choice, YouTube TV, provides live TV, including ESPN, with cloud DVR capabilities.
    • FuboTV: FuboTV also carries ESPN and offers a wide array of sports channels.
  • NFL+: NFL+ is a streaming service that allows you to stream live local and primetime games. However, Monday Night Football is not included, unless you are watching on mobile devices.
  • Over-the-Air (OTA) Antennas: If you live near a major city, you may be able to pick up ESPN over the air with a digital antenna. This is the most affordable option, but it may not be available in all areas.

Comparing Streaming Services for Monday Night Football

So, how do you decide which streaming service is best for you? It depends on what you're looking for.

  • Features: Consider the features that are important to you. Do you need cloud DVR to record games? Do you want access to a wide variety of channels beyond ESPN? Hulu + Live TV and YouTube TV provide cloud DVR, while Sling TV has options.
  • Bundling: Some services offer bundles. For instance, you might be able to bundle a streaming service with your internet service. Check to see if your current provider offers any deals.
  • Compatibility: Ensure the streaming service is compatible with your devices. Most services work on smart TVs, smartphones, tablets, and computers. Check the service’s website for a compatibility list.
