How to watch Monday Night Football live without cable 2025

Which streaming services offer Monday Night Football

This year, the majority of games can be found on ESPN, but a few games will be exclusive to other networks. Three games will air only on ABC, and one game will be on ESPN Plus.

Watch Monday Night Football on DIRECTV STREAM

DIRECTV STREAM has ESPN, ESPN 2, plus all local channels. You’ll only miss the ESPN Plus MNF game with this option. But that’s not the only reason to consider this popular streamer. DIRECTV STREAM also has more regional sports networks (RSNs) than its competitors. For instance, you can get Bally Sports networks that are based on your region. 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. 

There are four DIRECTV STREAM packages that include more than 150 channels on the high end. Many of the packages also have collegiate action on channels like Big Ten Network and SEC Network. All customers also get unlimited DVR storage, plus unlimited streams within their home network.

Watch Monday Night Football on Hulu + Live TV

Hulu + Live TV has just a single channel lineup, but it has ABC, ESPN and ESPN2 for MNF. This streaming option is also the only one that gives you a free ESPN Plus subscription. That means you won’t pay any extra to have access to every single MNF game this year. 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.  

Hulu + Live TV offers customers unlimited DVR storage, and you can keep MNF recordings for up to nine months. On the downside, you can only stream on two screens at once.

Watch Monday Night Football on Sling TV 

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. 

Sling TV charges customers with local channels an extra $5 per month, but it’s still a great deal. Plus, you’ll get  50 hours of DVR space, or 200 hours with an upgrade. Sling Orange & Blue allows you to stream on up to four screens at one time.

Watch Monday Night Football on Fubo

Fubo also has every channel you need to watch MNF. You’ll get ESPN, ESPN2, ABC and all other local channels for NFL games. Once the season is over, Fubo lets you tune into NBA action and more on Bally Sports networks. It’s the only option aside from DIRECTV STREAM to offer RSNs. Note that a fee may be applied for any packages that include regional sports networks.

Customers can augment their Fubo channel lineup with the Sports Plus with NFL RedZone, where you can watch channels like SEC Network, NHL Network, MLB Network, ACCN  and NBA TV. Even without an extra, you’ll enjoy FS1, FS2, NFL Network, Marquee Sports Network and Fubo Sports with a Fubo subscription.

There are three Fubo plans to choose from. All of them have unlimited cloud DVR recording, so you can record every MNF game and watch them back for up to nine months. Plus, customers get 10 simultaneous streams in their home network and three additional streams away from home.  

Watch Monday Night Football on YouTube TV

There is only one YouTube TV plan, but it has 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 the only 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. 

If you opt in for the Sports Plus add-on, you can also tune into content from NFL RedZone, Tennis Channel, FanDuel TV and more. YouTube TV also has unlimited DVR space and allows three simultaneous streams.
