How to Watch Monday Night Football Live Stream

Users have several streaming options if they want to watch Monday Night Football on the go, including ESPN's official website and app. Also, many streaming services include ESPN, which is an excellent option for cord-cutters.

See our guides to Sunday Night Football and Thursday Night Football for details on those games.

How to Watch the Official ESPN Monday Night Football Livestream

ESPN has the sole right to broadcast and stream Monday Night Football. That means if you have a subscription to a qualifying cable or satellite television provider, you can watch an official stream of every Monday Night Football game right on your computer.

To watch Monday Night Football online:

1. Use your favorite web browser to navigate to espn.com/watch.

2. Select any live stream, and then select your cable or satellite provider from the list.

3. Follow the prompts to log in to your cable or satellite provider.

4. Return to espn.com/watch on game day and select the Monday Night Football game to watch it live.

This process is straightforward if your television provider is the same as your internet provider, as the system can automatically validate your connection. If you aren't at home or have separate internet and television providers, be sure to jot down the username and password for your cable or satellite television account so you can sign in.

Once you have successfully validated your cable or satellite information on the ESPN website, you'll be able to watch live or previously recorded video, with the exception of content that's exclusive to ESPN+.

Live Stream ESPN Monday Night Football on Your Phone

In addition to letting you stream Monday Night Football directly from its Watch ESPN website, ESPN also has a mobile app that allows you to watch games on your phone, tablet, and other compatible devices.

Like the ESPN website, the ESPN app requires a valid cable or satellite television subscription if you want to watch premium content.

To stream Monday Night Football through the ESPN app:

1. Download the iOS ESPN: Live Sports and Scores app, or get the Android ESPN app.

2. Tap Settings (gear icon).

3. Tap TV Provider.

4. If your internet and TV providers are the same, tap Allow to let ESPN access your TV subscription automatically.
   

5. If you have a different TV provider, select it from the list and sign in manually.

6. Once you're signed in, select Monday Night Football from the Watch tab to watch the game live on your device.

Stream Monday Night Football With a TV Streaming Service

Since ESPN is the only company authorized to broadcast or stream Monday Night Football, the only official way to watch Monday Night Football online is through ESPN.

If you are a cord cutter without a valid cable or satellite television subscription, you can subscribe to a live television streaming service that includes ESPN.
