ABC is loading up on a slew of extra NFL games in a bid to bolster its fall schedule.

The Disney-owned network has added 10 Monday Night Football simulcasts to its strike-hit schedule.

More from Deadline

The broadcast network is hoping that games such as the Seahawks at the NY Giants or the 49ers at the Vikings can help shore up viewing figures.

The move is addition to a number of games that were already ABC telecasts or already announced as simulcasts from games shown on sibling Disney network ESPN.

Games added include Seahawks at Giants on October 2, Packers at Raiders on October 9, Cowboys at Chargers on October 16, 49ers at Vikings on October 23, Raiders at Lions on October 30, Chargers at Jets on November 6, Broncos at Bills on November 13, Bears at Vikings on November 27, Bengals at Jaguars on December 4 and Chiefs at Patriots on December 18

However, tonight’s Saints at Panthers tonight game will not be simulcast. Neither will Rams at Bengals on September 25 or Titans at Dolphins on December 11.

It comes as Dancing with the Stars moved to Tuesday nights starting on September 26 and Bachelor in Paradise and new spinoff The Golden Bachelor moved to Thursday nights starting on September 28.
