When the music comes on, every National Football League fan knows what time it is. Monday Night Football on ESPN is a weekly holiday, and it comes like clockwork to put an exclamation point on the week’s action-packed schedule.
Whether it is an AFC rivalry game or a big-time NFC showdown, MNF generally brings the heat for its primetime games. There are some marquee matchups for 2020, certainly, but it lacks its usual pop.
With so many games scattered between Thursday Night Football, FOX, CBS, NBC’s Sunday Night Football, and ESPN’s Monday night games during the regular season, the NFL schedule is tough to put together.
Only 25 of the league’s 32 teams are set to play on the big stage this year. Don’t worry, though. Tom Brady is on the slate twice.

The road to the playoffs and Super Bowl doesn’t go through Monday Night Football, but some teams have been left out of the spotlight. The Carolina Panthers, Detroit Lions, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Dolphins, and Washington Redskins were all snubbed this year and will look to be on the schedule for the 2021 NFL season.
How To Watch Monday Night Football
Every Monday Night Football game is broadcast nationally on ESPN.
In 2019, the network also made MNF games to subscribers on the ESPN app, ESPN.com, and ESPN apps on Apple TV, Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Xbox One, and Playstation 4 as well as iPad and Android tablets.
At the moment, Monday Night Football is not available with ESPN+ or Disney+ subscriptions.
