NFL Football has changed a lot since 1970, but Monday Night Football has remained a staple for fans of the NFL (and all their rowdy friends). In 2024, however, Monday Night Football will be bigger and better than ever—literally.
In addition to three weeks of double-headers on ESPN (channel 140 on DISH) and ABC (check your guide for channel number and availability), Monday Night Football has the ability to flex games into their schedule from Weeks 14 to 18. Although this creates new challenges for the players and teams who get flexed into a Monday night game, it’s perfect for the fans watching at home who will no longer have to sit through late-season games between underperforming teams with nothing to play for.
How to Watch The Manningcast
Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli – aka the Manningcast – will also be back for its fourth season in 2024. Since premiering in the 2021 season, the Manningcast—which features live interviews from the world of sports and pop culture, along with the Manning brothers’ sharp, funny commentary on the game—has been a hit in the ratings and creatively (the show has claimed the Sports Emmy Award for “Outstanding Live Sports Series” two years in a row). The Manningcast will air on ESPN2 during 10 of the 17 MNF games this season, plus ESPN’s Wild Card playoff game. This year, the Manning bros. will be joined each week by former Patriots coach Bill Belichick in the first quarter. Check out the Manningcast games in the schedule below.
As for the broadcast, Joe Buck and Troy Aikman will be back for their third season on Monday Night Football. Longtime SportsCenter anchor Scott Van Pelt will host Monday Night Countdown, MNF’s pre-game show, with former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce expected to join the crew for the first time this season.
