2025 'Monday Night Football' Schedule and How to Watch with Sling
Are you ready for some football? Buck, Aikman, and the Manning's are. Here's the 2025 'MNF' schedule and how to watch on Sling.
The NFL released the 2025 Monday Night Football schedule, and the slate of games is more stacked than the line of scrimmage during the “Tush Push.” From massive interconference battles with the NFL’s biggest stars to crucial divisional showdowns and playoff rematches, the nationally-televised slate of games features some of the most compelling matchups on the entire NFL calendar.
As with last year, ABC will broadcast a handful of Monday Night Football games as well; those games will be simulcast on Sling Orange via ESPN3. The MNF schedule will wrap up with a Saturday doubleheader on Week 18. When the NFL Playoffs begin, there will be a Monday Night Wild Card playoff game, and ESPN will also have a Divisional Round game the following weekend. There will also be two weeks of MNF doubleheaders on ESPN (Weeks 2 and 7), and two more weeks with games on both ESPN and ABC/ ESPN3 (Weeks 4 and 6). All told, there will be 25 NFL games on ESPN in the 2025-26 season. Use the link below to subscribe to Sling Orange with ESPN/ ESPN3.

And on ESPN2, the brothers Manning return for a fifth season of Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli, which will simulcast 12 games this season, starting with the Vikings-Bears showdown in Week 1.
