How to watch Monday Night Football (2026)

Monday Night Football airs on ESPN and some games on ABC. Remaining 2026 MNF schedule, ESPN Unlimited price, and how to watch without cable.

Monday Night Football is on ESPN; some games are simulcast on ABC (free with an antenna). ESPN's own streaming plan, ESPN Unlimited, carries every ESPN game.

Ways to watch

ESPN (ESPN Unlimited): $31.99/mo. Monday Night Football (ESPN and ESPN on ABC) plus NFL Network, per ESPN. ESPN Select ($13.99) does not include them. College football: ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SEC Network, ACC Network, ESPN+ (incl. SEC Network+ and ACCNX), ESPN on ABC, and CW Sports games, per ESPN's plan page.
TV antenna (free OTA) (One-time purchase): $0/mo (unverified). Free local CBS/FOX/NBC/ABC over the air. Antenna is a one-time purchase (not priced here); reception depends on your location (check the FCC DTV map).
YouTube TV (Sports Plan): $64.99/mo. Local CBS/FOX/NBC/ABC plus ESPN networks. Main plan $82.99/mo. The same page's promo fine print lists Sports Plan at $54.99; we use the $64.99 regular price. College football: the Sports Plan lineup (ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU, SEC Network, ACC Network, Big Ten Network, FS1, FS2, CBS Sports Network, TNT, truTV, TBS, USA) is from the full channel list YouTube gave Deadline (Feb 2026); YouTube's own page shows only a sample. ESPN+-only games are not counted.
Fubo (Sports + News): $64.99/mo (unverified). UNVERIFIED: Fubo's own pages still showed $55.99 (cached) while 2026 news reports a $64.99 price after the July 2026 increase; we use $64.99. Local channel availability varies by ZIP. College football channels are reported by third parties but not confirmed on Fubo's own pages (blocked), so we don't use Fubo in the college football calculator. Reports say Fubo does not carry TNT/truTV.
