Are you ready for some football? We have finally reached that time of year where we won’t have to live without NFL games until next February. Over the last few years, the worldwide leader in sports’ streaming service, ESPN+, has begun adding more and more content specifically geared for NFL fans. So what NFL games can you watch with a subscription to ESPN+?
In addition to select “Monday Night Football” games, which normally air on ESPN, ESPN+ will now be the exclusive home to one NFL game every season.
This season, ESPN+ will air six “MNF” telecasts, including the season opener on Sept. 12 with Russell Wilson returning to Seattle as a member of the Denver Broncos. ESPN+ will also carry the Week 2 matchup between the Vikings and Eagles), Week 3 between the Cowboys and Giants, Week 15 between the Rams and Packers, Week 17 between the Bills and Bengals, and a game from the first-ever Super Wild Card Weekend.
But, one reason that you will need ESPN+ this season is that it will be the only way to watch Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars take on Wilson and the Broncos live from London on Oct. 30. This will be the first of a new annual exclusive game on ESPN+.
On top of the traditional telecast, ESPN+ will also carry the “ManningCast: Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli” during Week 1, Week 3, Week 15, and Super Wild Card Weekend.
With your ESPN+ subscription, you will also get “NFL Primetime” with Chris Berman every Sunday at 7:30 p.m. ET, and exclusive original shows like “Peyton’s Places” and “Man in the Arena.” If you want to ace your fantasy football league, ESPN+ subscribers get access to member-exclusive fantasy tools and cheat sheets, as well as insights from Mel Kiper, Todd McShay, and more.
