When to watch the Baltimore Ravens vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Los Angeles Chargers vs. Arizona Cardinals?
- Monday, Oct. 21, at 8:15 p.m. ET (5:15 p.m. PT) and 9 p.m. ET (6 p.m. PT)
Where to watch
- The Ravens vs. Bucs game starts first on ABC, ESPN and ESPN Plus. The Chargers vs. Cardinals kicks off 45 minutes later and will stream exclusively on ESPN Plus, but fans in the home markets of either team can watch on a local network.
It’s another Monday Night Football doubleheader tonight. First up, the 4-2 Buccaneers host the 4-2 Ravens. And then shortly after they kick off in Tampa Bay, the 3-2 Chargers and 2-4 Cardinals get underway in Arizona.Â
The Ravens-Bucs game will be shown on the usual MNF channels of ABC and ESPN and will also stream live on ESPN Plus.
Unless you live in the Los Angeles or Phoenix TV markets, however, you’ll need ESPN Plus to watch the Chargers-Cardinals game. The game will stream exclusively on ESPN Plus but will be shown on channel 13 (KCOP) in Los Angeles and Fox 10 (KSAZ) in Phoenix.
You can also watch brothers Eli and Peyton call the games tonight on the ManningCast on ESPN2 or ESPN Plus.Â
If you don’t have a cable or satellite TV subscription, you can watch Monday Night Football with a live TV streaming service. The good news for football fans is that ABC, ESPN and ESPN2 are available on all five major streaming services.
Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers host the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football tonight.
How to watch MNF without cable
The key channel for Monday Night Football is ESPN. Nearly every Monday night game will be shown on ESPN, with seven weeks also appearing on ABC and ESPN Plus. The only time you won’t be able to watch a MNF game on ESPN after this week is the last MNF doubleheader of the season for week 15 when one game will be on ESPN and the other will be on ABC and ESPN Plus.
You can also watch Monday Night Football on ABC for most weeks left in the season; weeks 10 and 13 will be shown on ESPN only.
The ManningCast on ESPN2 is scheduled for most Monday nights during the season and one Wild Card game, with six of those regular-season Monday nights and the Wild Card game also streaming on ESPN Plus.
