Starting at 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN, you’ll be able to watch the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles. You’d normally need a cable package or streaming service that includes ESPN or ABC to watch this game, but there’s also a free option you can tune into with a VPN. We’ll break down all your watch options below.

Where to watch Monday Night Football for free from anywhere

Channel 5 in the United Kingdom shows Monday Night Football for free. International viewers not located in the UK can use a VPN to watch the game tonight. This tool lets you trick sites into thinking you’re visiting from within a supported country, so you can sign up for a live TV streaming service and watch Monday Night Football that way (you may need to sign up with a local postal/zip code).

If you need a VPN, you can snag a risk-free offer on the best VPN we’ve tested. You can grab ExpressVPN for 49% off the regular price and get three months for free. There’s a 30-day money-back guarantee if you’re unsatisfied. Check out our ExpressVPN review to learn more.

How to watch Monday Night Football with a VPN

• Sign up for a VPN if you don’t have one.
• Install it on the device you’re using to watch the game.
• Turn it on and set it to a UK location.
• Go to Channel 5. You may need to sign up with a local postal code.
• Watch Monday Night Football.
• Watch every Monday at: 8:15 p.m. ET / 1 a.m. (Tues.) BST / 2 a.m. (Tues.) CEST / 10 a.m. (Tues.) AEST.

How to watch Monday Night Football in the US

If you’re in the US, Monday Night Football usually airs weekly on ESPN at 8:15 p.m. ET. Most cable and satellite services include ESPN, and you can also stream the network via the web using your provider’s credentials. 

If you don’t subscribe to a pay-TV cable provider, you can also watch Monday Night Football via a live TV streaming service. For ESPN and ESPN2, you can subscribe to Sling Orange for $40 monthly, and your first month is $20 if you’ve never subscribed before.

Select games may also air exclusively on ABC when ESPN is hosting simultaneous doubleheaders. Unfortunately, Sling only offers ABC via its Sling Blue package in eight markets, and you have to pay $5 extra to subscribe in those areas. Those markets include New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Houston, Raleigh-Durham, and Fresno. To watch both ESPN and ABC, you’ll need Sling Blue + Orange, which costs $60 monthly in the aforementioned markets.

Those ABC games will also be shown on ESPN Plus. Combining Sling Orange with an ESPN Plus subscription might be your best option from a cost and accessibility standpoint. Or better yet, use a VPN and watch Monday Night Football for free via the UK feed mentioned above. 

There’s less friction at Fubo TV. Fubo’s Pro plan offers ABC, ESPN, and ESPN2 in almost all markets. But it’s pricey at $75 per month.

NFL+ might be better if you’re only interested in football. For $6.99 per month, NFL+ offers live streams for all local broadcasts and primetime games, including Monday Night Football, Sunday Night Football, and Thursday Night Football. You’ll also get NFL Network access, which has exclusive broadcast rights to eight games for the 2023 season. The only catch is that your choice of playback device for local and primetime games is limited to smartphones and tablets. NFL Network and NFL RedZone are viewable on all supported devices.

In addition to live game streams, you can tune into local radio broadcasts for any game, access advanced fantasy football analysis tools with Fantasy+, enjoy NFL Films content, and watch ad-free highlights from every game weekly. If you go for the $14.99 NFL+ Premium subscription, you can add full game plays, NFL RedZone, and cash in on exclusive offers from NFL Shop.
