2026 '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 2026 'MNF' schedule and how to watch on Sling.
The 2026 NFL season will be a landmark year for ESPN. For the first time, ESPN will broadcast the Super Bowl, which takes place Sunday, Feb. 14 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. The build up to the Big Game will feature a loaded slate of games on Monday Night Football.
From bitter divisional rivals to massive interconference showdowns that only come around every four years, this year’s MNF slate (plus the Week 18 Saturday doubleheader) is a fitting compliment to ESPN’s crowning season. Here’s a look at the full schedule of Monday Night Football and Week 18 games on ESPN, and how to watch all of them with Sling.
