List of Monday Night Football results (2020–present)

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. All games are in primetime at 8:15 p.m. Eastern Time Zone unless stated otherwise.

2020s

2020 season

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.

2021 season

In the offseason, ESPN and the NFL agreed to a new contract that would 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 began airing a Saturday doubleheader during the final weekend of the season, with both games having major playoff implications. The games kick off at 4:15 ET and 8:15 ET. Both games are simulcast on ABC. Because of this, ESPN dropped the Week 1 doubleheader, in favor of the Week 18 doubleheader. This was the first time since ABC's last year airing MNF that there was no Week 1 doubleheader.

As part of a 3-year partnership with Peyton Manning’s new production company, Omaha Productions, ESPN2 and ESPN+ began airing 10 editions of a newly-revamped Monday Night Megacast, featuring Peyton and Eli Manning, along with special guests. The first three games of the season had the Megacast broadcast, while ESPN selected 7 more games later in the season.

2022 season

This was the 53rd season of Monday Night Football, the 17th in the ESPN era. There were 21 games across ESPN, ABC, and ESPN+ in the 2022 season.

Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, who had previously been with Fox since 2001, were selected to announce Monday Night Football games on ESPN and ABC beginning in 2022.

ESPN+ carried an International Series game on October 30, and ABC carried an exclusive game on September 19. ABC also simulcasted select games, as well as the Week 18 Saturday Doubleheader, the Monday Night Super Wild Card Game, and the Pro Bowl. The Manningcast was renewed until the 2024 NFL season and thus returned for 2022.

The January 2, 2023, game between the Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals was declared a no-contest three days later due to a serious injury to Bills safety Damar Hamlin.

2023 season

The 2023 season marked the beginning of a new 10-year contract for ESPN/ABC to carry Monday Night Football. This year’s original schedule includes 3 doubleheaders, a Christmas night game, Saturday games in both Week 17 and Week 18, the Monday Night Super Wild Card game, a Divisional game, and the 2024 Pro Bowl Games. Due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike and 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, ABC aired a total of 11 games (10 more simulcasts were added from ABC's scheduling changes in September making the new total to 21 games, the most since 2005): 4 exclusive broadcasts (Weeks 2, 3, 14, and 16), 5 regular season simulcasts (Weeks 1, 11, 17, and 18) and 2 playoff simulcasts. In addition, ESPN announced that it would simulcast Monday Night Football every week on ABC leaving ESPN only 3 exclusive games this season (Weeks 2, 3, and 14). This year also marked the first season of flex scheduling on Monday nights. Games could be flexed from weeks 12–18. The cable television industry was furious upon finding out that almost all Monday Night Football games would be simulcast on ABC in 2023.

ESPN+ also carried an International Series game on October 1. ESPN+ and Disney+ also featured a youth-oriented alternate broadcast of the game, using the league's player tracking data to render a live animated version of the game portrayed by characters from the Toy Story franchise.

All games are simulcast on ABC unless otherwise noted.

2024 season

This marked the 55th season of Monday Night Football. Originally, four MNF games and the Saturday doubleheader were set to be ESPN/ABC simulcasts. On October 11, it was announced that ABC picked up simulcasts of six additional MNF games, bringing the ESPN/ABC simulcast total to twelve. Three weeks featured two MNF games split between ABC and ESPN.

ESPN and ABC aired the 2024 EDition of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game due to NBC's coverage of the 2024 Summer Olympics.

ESPN+ exclusively streamed the second game of a split MNF doubleheader on October 21. All originally scheduled ABC games were also simulcast on ESPN+ (including the respective Manningcast for that night) unless otherwise noted (5 of the 6 additional simulcasts that ABC gained during the season are not included, only the October 21 game was included from these simulcasts).

ESPN further announced on October 28 that ESPN+ and Disney+ would stream an alternate broadcast of the December 9 Cincinnati Bengals vs. Dallas Cowboys MNF game that would use the league's player tracking data to render a live animated version of the game portrayed by characters from The Simpsons.

Flexible scheduling was allowed on a 12 day notice beginning on Week 12.

However, despite these changes, ESPN did not flex a single one of their originally scheduled games, which marked the first season since 2022 that none of the originally scheduled Monday night games for the entire season (other than week 18) were flexed out.

ESPN and ABC again had a wild card game (the NFL retired the "Super Wild Card" branding) and a divisional playoff game.

All games were at 8:15 p.m. on ESPN unless otherwise noted

2025 season

The 2025 season was the fourth year of the 12-year deal that the platform exclusively streams one regular season game under the ESPN+ branding, which was set to the second game of a MNF doubleheader in Week 7. However, that game was moved to ESPN. Thus the network aired two MNF traditional doubleheaders and two "split doubleheaders" in which ESPN and ABC aired separate games simultaneously. Ten MNF games and the Saturday doubleheader were ESPN/ABC simulcasts. 12 games also featured the alternative Manningcast on ESPN2. An alternate broadcast of the Week 14 MNF game aired on ESPN2, Disney Channel, and Disney XD as Monsters Funday Football that used the league's player tracking data to render a live animated version of the game portrayed by Monsters, Inc. characters. ESPN did not flex a single one of their originally scheduled games, which marked the second straight season that none of the originally scheduled Monday night games for the entire season (other than week 18) were flexed out. In addition, the Pro Bowl series was moved to the Tuesday before Super Bowl LX and aired on ESPN and Disney XD with ABC airing its normal primetime Tuesday schedule instead. ABC did, however, air Pro Bowl Games content on Sunday, February 1, preceded by a special edition of NFL Live on ESPN.

2026 season

This will be the first season for ABC to air the Super Bowl since Super Bowl XL in 2006. It will also be the first season in NFL history for a Super Bowl to air on ESPN. It was later announced that during this season, extensive promotion and programming leading up to Super Bowl LXI will air on ESPN, ABC, Hulu, and many more Disney-owned platforms. It was also announced that an alternate Manningcast presentation special for Super Bowl LXI will air on ESPN2.

It was announced that beginning this season, ESPN and ABC will no longer schedule Monday night doubleheaders (whether traditional doubleheaders on ESPN and/or ABC, or "split doubleheaders" in which ESPN and ABC air separate games). However, the Week 18 Saturday doubleheaders and two playoff games (3 if the Super Bowl is scheduled to air on ESPN and ABC), will remain on both ESPN and ABC. In addition, it was announced that ESPN would take over production of the NFL Network Exclusive Game Series, though 7 of the exclusive games themselves will remain on NFL Network. The 7 games that are exclusive to NFL Network, however, are not featured on this list.

It was later announced that beginning this season, the NFL would abolish the Pro Bowl series, ending a 75-year tradition of an annual on-field All-Star competition. They will, however, continue to name 88 Pro Bowl selections to honor top players.

This is also the first season where MNF is the longest active-running sports program in North America after NHL games moved entirely to cable and streaming in Canada.
