When to watch the Houston Texans vs. Dallas Cowboys?
- Monday, Nov. 18, at 8:15 p.m. ET (5:15 p.m. PT).
Where to watch:
- The Texans-Cowboys game will shown on ABC and ESPN.
CeeDee Lamb won’t have Dak Prescott throwing the ball to him tonight, but at least he won’t be blinded by the sun when attempting to catch passes from Cooper Rush in primetime this evening. Sitting at 3-6 and with their starting quarterback out for the year, the Cowboys’ season appears to be over.Â
The Texans have hit a bump in the road as they try to repeat as AFC South champions and return to the playoffs. They have lost two in a row and three of their last four but still find themselves in first place in the division at 6-4. And C.J. Stroud should get his favorite target in Nico Collins back in time for tonight’s game. Collins has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since early October and still leads the team in receiving yards.
The Texans and Cowboys kick off tonight at 8:15 p.m. ET (5:15 p.m. PT) on ABC and ESPN. You can flip over to ESPN2 during the game to catch the ManningCast with brothers Peyton and Eli, the popular alternative broadcast where the former NFL greats analyze the game and chat with different guests each week.
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 ESPN are available on all five major streaming services.
C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans face the Dallas Cowboys tonight on Monday Night Football.
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 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; this week and week 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.
