Football is back! Well preseason NFL action is back. On Thursday, the Chicago Bears hosted the Houston Texans in the 2024 Hall of Fame game. The Bears are hoping top pick Caleb Williams can lead Chicago back to the playoffs, while the Texans look to build off of C.J. Stroud’s historic rookie season.

Later this week, the Carolina Panthers go on the road to take on Drake Maye and the New England Patriots (Thursday, August 8 at 7:00 p.m. ET) in what will be the first of 21 preseason games airing live on NFL Network and NFL+. Will any of those preseason games air on a Monday night? When exactly does the Monday Night Football return?

Here’s the full 2024 Monday Night Football schedule.

Nope. Sadly, there’s no Monday Night Football game tonight.

There are no preseason Monday Night Football games scheduled for the 2024-2025 season. The first Monday night game of the season takes place Monday, September 9 when the New York Jets go on the road to battle the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1.

Monday Night Football will air primarily on ESPN (and NFL+), but ABC and ESPN+ will also broadcast games throughout the season. Weeks 3, 4, 7, and 15 of MNF offer doubleheaders.

If you have a valid cable login, Monday Night Football will be available to watch live on ESPN, Watch ESPN, or the ESPN app.

You can also stream MNF live with an active subscription to fuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, DirecTV Stream, NFL+, or YouTube TV. FuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, and YouTube TV offer free trials for eligible subscribers.
