Broadcast and Cable Options
The Week 3 showdown between the Detroit Lions and the Baltimore Ravens is slated for Monday night on Monday Night Football. The primary broadcast partner is ESPN, which means anyone with a traditional cable or satellite package that includes the ESPN channel will see the game live. If you have a basic tier that doesn’t bundle ESPN, you can usually add the sports tier for a small monthly fee.
For cord‑cutters who still want a reliable over‑the‑air signal, an indoor antenna can pick up the local affiliate that rebroadcasts ESPN’s feed in many markets. Check your area’s listings; most major metros carry a simulcast on a local ABC, CBS, or Fox station during Monday night games.
- Standard cable/satellite: ESPN (channel varies by provider)
- Over‑the‑air: Look for the local affiliate’s Monday Night Football simulcast
- Satellite radio: SiriusXM’s NFL Playbook provides audio commentary
Streaming Platforms and Mobile Access
If you prefer to watch on a laptop, tablet, or smartphone, several streaming services include ESPN in their live TV packages. The most popular choices are:
- Disney+ Hotstar (or Disney+ in the U.S.) – bundles ESPN with a sports add‑on
- Hulu + Live TV – offers ESPN in its base live lineup
- YouTube TV – carries ESPN with unlimited DVR
- Sling TV – select ‘Sling Blue’ plan includes ESPN for $35/month
- DirecTV Stream – ESPN included in most packages
All these services provide a free trial period, so you can test the stream before committing. For those with an existing NFL subscription, the NFL+ app now carries the national broadcast of Monday Night Football on mobile devices, but the picture may be delayed by a few seconds compared to the live feed.
Don’t forget about the ESPN app itself. If your ISP or mobile carrier offers an ESPN‑authenticated login, you can log in directly and stream the game without a separate subscription. Just make sure you have a stable Wi‑Fi connection to avoid buffering during the crucial fourth‑quarter moments.
Finally, for fans who love to watch with friends, many bars and restaurants carry ESPN on their satellite feeds, making it easy to enjoy the game in a social setting without any extra cost.
