Monday Night Football: Games, Dates & Time
Monday Night Football kicked off on Sept. 11 and will continue into January 2024. The MNF kickoff games between the Jets and Buffalo Bills drew a record-breaking 22.6 million viewers making it the most watched MNF game in history beating out the previous record-holder, a 2009’s game between the Packers and Vikings.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Eagles win over the Chiefs (21-17) drew a record 29 million viewers last month, which is a 27-year ratings high and the highest numbers of the season for a single game since the Super Bowl.
Tonight’s game closes out a string of MNF doubleheaders, which launched in September with the Saints vs. Panthers and Browns vs. Steelers along with the Philadelphia Eagles vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Los Angeles Rams vs. Bengals.
However, unlike the last two doubleheaders, tonight’s games will broadcast at the same time. That means football fans will be flipping channels during MNF and if you don’t have cable, you can watch and record both games under the streaming plans with DirecTV, Fubo and other streaming plans mentioned above.
Last week’s game marked another first, this time for the Jacksonville Jaguars. The matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals was the team’s first MNF game in 12 years. Unfortunately, the Jaguars lost to the Bengals 34-31 in overtime (the team also lost its 2011 MNF game against the San Diego Chargers, 38-14).
Last month’s holiday weekend was packed with college football and NFL games which kicked off with a Thanksgiving triple header featuring the Packers vs. Detroit Lions, Washington Commanders vs. Dallas Cowboys, 49ers vs. Seahawks and a viral halftime performance from Dolly Parton, football lovers had a feast of games to enjoy and there’s a double header on the way.
Want to watch MNF from anywhere? Even if you don’t have cable, there are plenty of ways to watch NFL games without spending a fortune. To make the process a little easier, we put together some of the better options for MNF and other NFL games.
Meanwhile, NFL ratings have received a boost as of late thanks in part to Taylor Swift. Although Swift missed a few games including a Chiefs vs. Dolphins matchup in Germany, she has been showing support for her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, even from afar. The pop star threw a reported watch party at her New York City apartment on Nov. 5 and her support may have paid off because the Chiefs beat the Dolphins 21-14.
Swift has been spotted cheering on Kelce at several home games including a Thursday Night Football game in October. Swift didn’t attend the Chiefs vs. Eagles where Travis and the Chiefs faced his brother, Jason Kelce, and the Philadelphia Eagles because she was on the road for the Latin American leg of her Eras Tour. Now that the pop star is back in the states, she has been cheering on Travis and the Chiefs in person including last Sunday’s Chiefs vs. Bills game (Bills won 20-17) and a Sunday Night Football game with the Chiefs and Packers on Dec. 3 (the Packers beat the Chiefs 27-19).
NFL ratings hit another high mark over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. The Thanksgiving game between the Cowboys and Commanders snagged a whopping 44 million viewers, the third-largest audience for a regular season game in history. The game aired on CBS and stream on Paramount+.
The Cowboys beat the Commanders 45-10. The NFL team is no stranger to Thanksgiving games as the Cowboys have played a game on Thanksgiving day nearly every year since 1966.
Fans who want to watch games live, either from home or on-the-go, can stream select NFL games and more on ESPN+ including the Packers vs. Giants game on Dec. 11. The Chiefs are scheduled to play another MNF game on Dec. 18, this time against the Patriots — the game will air on ESPN and stream live on ESPN+ as well.
Lastly, the second-to-last MNF game of the year will be the Ravens vs. 49ers on Dec. 25 at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara Calif. The Christmas Day game will air live on ABC and ESPN and stream on ESPN+. If you’d rather watch the Christmas game live from the stadium alongside thousands of fans, click here to get your tickets early. Tickets start at $123.
Christmas Day will be a full serving with three NFL games on the schedule, including the Giants vs. Eagles airing at 4:30 p.m. ET on Fox and Chiefs vs. Las Vegas Raiders airing at 1 p.m. ET on CBS.
The final MNF game of the year will be played on Dec. 30 between the Lions and Cowboys.
If you haven’t already noticed, MNF sounds a bit different this season. That’s because ESPN enlisted the help of Timbaland and Justin Timberlake to curate the music for select MNF games.
In September, the NFL debuted the official MNF theme featuring Chris Stapleton, Snoop Dogg and Cindy Blackman Santana. The song is a cover of Phil Collins “In the Air Tonight.”

Besides tonight’s Packers vs. Giants and Dolphins vs. Titans games, the remaining matchups on the MNF schedule for this season will include the 49ers vs. Ravens, Chiefs vs. Patriots (this game has been moved to Sunday, Dec. 17 and will broadcast live Fox) and Lions vs. Cowboys.
