2024 'Monday Night Football' Preview and Schedule

Are you ready for some football? Buck, Aikman, and the Manning's are. Here's the 2024 'MNF' schedule and how to watch on Sling TV.

With all of the changes to the NFL in recent years – a 17-game schedule, streaming-only rights, an extra playoff game – Monday Night Football on ESPN remains one of the league’s long-standing traditions. That isn’t to say the show hasn’t undergone its own changes and transitions, like the introduction of flex games last year and the debut of the “Manningcast” a few years ago. But with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman once again in the booth – they have the longest-tenured broadcast partnership in the sport’s history at 22 years – Monday Night Football is a lighthouse beacon amidst the stormy waters of the NFL’s continued growth.

Like last season, Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets open up this year’s MNF schedule, this time with a road game against the defending NFC champion San Francisco 49ers (we are all hoping Rodgers' season lasts longer than four plays this time). Other highlights include a rematch of the NFC Championship game between the Niners and Detroit Lions, a Lone Star State showdown between the Dallas Cowboys and surging Houston Texans, and brothers Jim and John Harbaugh (new coach of the LA Chargers) facing off against each other for the first time since Jim’s Baltimore Ravens beat John’s Niners in the Super Bowl over a decade ago.

As with last year, ABC will broadcast a handful of Monday Night Football games as well; those games will be simulcast on Sling Orange via ESPN3. The MNF schedule will wrap up with a Saturday doubleheader on Week 18. When the NFL Playoffs begin, there will be a Monday Night Football playoff game, and ESPN will also have a Divisional Round game the following weekend.

If you're looking for an alternative broadcast that replicates the feeling of watching MNF football with your (very smart) friends, Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli on ESPN2 (aka the Manningcast) will cover 11 games this season, beginning in Week 1. This year, the brothers Manning will be joined by legendary Patriots coach Bill Belichick each week during the first quarter.

Best of all, to ensure the full MNF schedule remains compelling throughout the season, ESPN will be able to flex in better matchups from weeks 12 through 17. So even at a time when the most consistent thing about the NFL is Patrick Mahomes playing in the AFC Championship game, Monday Night Football will be as fun and familiar as a party with your oldest (and rowdiest) friends.
