Which streaming services offer Monday Night Football

This year, all Monday Night Football games can be found on ESPN and/or ABC. 

Watch Monday Night Football Live on DIRECTV With a 5-Day Free Trial

DIRECTV has ESPN and ABC so you won't have to worry about missing a Monday Night game. DIRECTV also has more regional sports networks (RSNs) than its competitors. Other sports networks available with the Choice package and above include NFL Network, Fox Sports 1 (FS1) and Fox Sports 2 (FS2), ACC Network, NBA TV and MLB TV. Take advantage of the 5-day free trial with DIRECTV and possibly save extra with promotions if available.

Watch Monday Night Football Live on Hulu + Live TV With a 3-Day Free Trial

Hulu + Live TV has just a single channel lineup, but it has ABC and ESPN for MNF. This streaming option also provides users with a free ESPN Plus and Disney Plus subscription. Plus, the sole channel plan has FS1, FS2, NFL Network, MLB Network, SEC Network and Big Ten Network. The paid Sports Add-on gives you channels like NFL RedZone, Outdoor Channel and FanDuel TV.  Make sure to test out the 3-day free trial before committing.

Watch Monday Night Football Live on Sling TV With 50% Off Your First Month

Sling TV is the most affordable option, but it doesn’t have local channels in all markets. You can get ABC from Sling TV in and around cities like Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, and Raleigh, but many customers won’t have access to ABC. 

When looking for sports channels in Sling TV’s plans,  Sling Orange and Sling Orange & Blue have ESPN. If you have Sling Blue you’ll get FS1. With the paid Sports Extra, you’ll unlock networks like NHL Network, NFL Network, SEC Network, MLB Network and NBA TV.

Watch Monday Night Football Live on Fubo

Fubo also has every channel you need to watch MNF. You’ll get ESPN and ABC and all other local channels for NFL games. Once the season is over, Fubo lets you tune into NBA action and more on FanDuel Sports networks. It’s the only option aside from DIRECTV to offer RSNs. Note that a fee may be applied for any packages that include regional sports networks.

Watch Monday Night Football Live on YouTube TV

There is only one YouTube TV plan, but it includes more than 100 channels. The YouTube TV channel lineup includes every channel you need to watch Monday Night Football. Beyond that, YouTube TV is also a great place to get the NFL Sunday Ticket for out-of-market games. While you don’t need YouTube TV to get the NFL Sunday Ticket, it will streamline your experience by adding it to an existing live TV streaming account with YouTube. Other sports channels available on YouTube TV include NFL Network, NBA TV, FS1, SEC Network and the Golf Channel.
