List of Monday Night Football results (2020–present)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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 2010 to the most recent season.

Stadiums appearing under different names[edit]

Some stadiums and teams had multiple names throughout their appearances in the MNF package in this era. All names listed were seen in the package at least once in this era.

First name listed is the current (or final if it does not exist anymore) name for each team and stadium.

2020 NFL season[edit]

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 NFL season[edit]

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

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

2022 NFL season[edit]

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.

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 NFL season[edit]

This season marks 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 will air 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 will simulcast Monday Night Football every week on ABC leaving ESPN only 3 exclusive games this season (Weeks 2, 3, and 14). This year also marks the first season of flex scheduling on Monday nights. Games can be flexed from weeks 12–18.[2][3][4][5][6][7]

All games are simulcast on ABC unless otherwise noted.
