With the NFL and college football festivities beginning in September, the excitement for football is already in the air as fall approaches. The first full week of college football wraps up with Clemson at Duke on Monday night, but can you watch any NFL games today?
With the return of Monday Night Football right around the corner, let’s look at when the broadcast returns to ESPN and what 2023 regular-season schedule looks like.
Are There NFL Games Today?
The 2023 record-breaking MNF schedule kicks the season off with the New York Jets home opener and, subsequently, the debut of Aaron Rodgers in Gotham Green. The new-look Jets look to defend their home turf against the rival Buffalo Bills, who will be a significant obstacle in the Jets’ 2023 Super Bowl aspirations.
Announcers Joe Buck and Troy Aikman return for the second season of a five-year deal with ESPN to announce Monday Night Football games. 2023 marks the 22nd season Buck and Aikman have been partnered as play-by-play announcer and color commentator, tying Pat Summerall and John Madden’s record for the longest announcer pairing.
Here’s the 2023 Monday Night Football schedule, including start times, TV channels, and live stream options.
