Beginning in the 1970 NFL season, the National Football League began scheduling a weekly regular season game on Monday night before a national television audience. From 1970 to 2005, the ABC television network carried these games, with the ESPN cable television network taking over beginning in September 2006 until 2019, since 2020 ESPN and ABC have both been broadcasting these games either exclusively on one network or being simulcasted on both networks. Listed below are games played from 2020 to the most recent season.

2020s
[edit]The Week 2 game between the New Orleans Saints and Las Vegas Raiders, the first NFL game in Las Vegas, was simulcast on ESPN, ABC, and ESPN2 as part of ESPN's Megacast production. This was the first regular season Monday Night Football game on ABC since the end of the 2005 season. The 2021 Pro Bowl, which was also going to be played in Las Vegas and simulcast on ABC, was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, ESPN, ABC, and the NFL combined to air a two-hour special, honoring the players selected for the Pro Bowl.
Following a strong Week 2 simulcast, ABC simulcast the Buffalo Bills-San Francisco 49ers (played in Glendale instead of Santa Clara due to Santa Clara County imposing a ban on professional sports contests in response to COVID-19) and Buffalo Bills-New England Patriots games, and Megacast their Super Wild Card Playoff Game across ESPN, ABC, ESPN Deportes, ESPN2, ESPN+, and Freeform.

In the offseason, ESPN and the NFL agreed to a new contract that will see ESPN keep MNF, ABC expand their involvement with more games, including the Super Bowl, and ESPN+ airing an International game, plus rights to stream all MNF games. Along with those perks, ESPN will air a Saturday doubleheader, during the final weekend of the season, with both games having major playoff implications. The games will kick off at 4:15 ET and 8:15 ET. Both games will be simulcast on ABC. Because of this, ESPN dropped the Week 1 doubleheader, in favor of the Week 18 doubleheader. This will be the first time since ABC's last year airing MNF that there would be no Week 1 doubleheader.
As part of a 3-year partnership with Peyton Manning’s new production company, Omaha Productions, ESPN2 and ESPN+ will air 10 editions of a newly-revamped Monday Night Megacast, which will feature Peyton and Eli Manning, along with special guests. The first three games of the season will have the Megacast broadcast, while ESPN will select 7 more games later in the season.

In addition, ESPN announced that it will simulcast Monday Night Football every week on ABC leaving ESPN only 3 exclusive games this season (Weeks 2, 3, and 14). This year also marks the first season of flex scheduling on Monday nights. Games can be flexed from weeks 12–18.[2][3][4][5][6][7]

Notes
[edit]- ^ Kickoff time pushed back due to the Patriots-Chiefs game being moved from Sunday at 4:25 PM to Monday at 7:00 PM [COVID-19 related]
- ^ Game was played at State Farm Stadium (home of the Arizona Cardinals) in Glendale, Arizona, as the 49ers’ normal home stadium, Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, was unavailable due to Santa Clara County imposing a three week ban on all pro and college team practices and games in response to high levels of COVID-19 cases.
