Best live TV streaming services for Monday Night Football
Every MNF game is broadcast on ESPN, and some weeks there is also a simulcast on ABC. For 10 of the 17 Monday nights, the ManningCast will air on ESPN2. So, the key channels for MNF this season are ESPN and ESPN2. You can watch the main broadcast and the ManningCast with ESPN’s app, or you can use a live TV streaming service to watch both channels.
Alternatively, you can watch tonight’s game on ABC with an over-the-air antenna, if you live in an area that has good reception.
