To watch Monday Night Football for free in 2025, here are some key methods:
- Check for free web streams online about half an hour before the game starts, as some websites offer free streaming links for Monday Night Football games.
- Use a digital antenna to catch the game if it's broadcast on local channels like ABC, which often carries MNF games nationally. This works well if you have good reception for free over-the-air channels.
- Many live TV streaming services that carry ABC or ESPN offer free trials. Options include YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, fuboTV, and DIRECTV, which typically have 3-5 day free trial periods allowing free access to Monday Night Football broadcasts.
- ESPN’s new streaming service, ESPN Unlimited, includes ABC and ESPN channels and offers consolidated access to Monday Night Football, sometimes with free trials.
- NFL+ app streams local and primetime games live on mobile devices. It is a paid service but sometimes has promotions or trial periods.
- Avoid platforms that do not carry Monday Night Football specifically, like Peacock (which focuses on Sunday Night Football).
If none of these free options apply, using a streaming service free trial shortly before the game will be the most reliable way to watch Monday Night Football for free. The Monday Night Football games in 2025 are mainly on ESPN or ABC, so targeting those channels by antenna or streaming trials is key to free viewing.
In summary, watching Monday Night Football free involves:
- Using an antenna to access ABC over-the-air if locally available
- Finding free live stream links online shortly before kickoff
- Signing up for free trials of live TV streaming services including ABC and ESPN
- Trying ESPN Unlimited streaming app free trial
These options will let fans catch Monday Night Football games without paying for cable or a subscription initially.
