A presidential debate and more football are coming to screens this week, but what else is new to stream?

I’ve curated a new list of titles I think readers will get into this week, including a potentially historic presidential debate. Check out the best new shows and movies coming to top streaming services every day this week below!

‘Monday Night Football’ Week 1, New York Jets vs. San Francisco 49ers | Stream on ESPN+
This first “Monday Night Football” game of the 2024 season is rife with storylines, from the return of Jets QB Aaron Rodgers from a 2023 Achilles injury to the on-field debut of 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk after a protracted contract battle with the team this offseason.
DIRECTV customers who are desperate for a low-cost option to stream the game after ESPN channels were blacked out on Sept. 1 thanks to a carriage dispute with Disney should look hard at ESPN+ to watch the game. It costs just $10.99 per month and will allow viewers to stream the game using the popular “ManningCast” featuring Peyton and Eli Manning this week.

U.S. Presidential Debate, Kamala Harris vs. Donald Trump | ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, stream with a five-day free trial of DIRECTV STREAM
Former President Trump and Vice President Harris will face each other directly for the first — and potentially only — time during this election cycle on Tuesday evening. Harris stepped into the race in late July, when President Joe Biden decided to step aside amidst mounting concerns about his age and plummeting poll numbers.
Trump has erroneously called that decision a violation of the law, and will now have to face Harris across a debate stage as each candidate answers questions about the economy, immigration, abortion and other key issues. The 2024 election promises to be one of the most consequential in American history, and prospective voters will want to make sure to tune in.

Watch as the three employ different strategies to find the right buyers for some of L.A.’s priciest homes, and the effect their high-pressure jobs have on their home lives. Who will finish the season with a big sale, and who will be left holding the bag?

‘Tulsa King’ Season 2 Premiere | Paramount+
“Tulsa King” follows New York mafia capo Dwight “The General” Manfredi (Sylvester Stallone), just after he is released from prison after 25 years and unceremoniously exiled by his boss to set up shop in Tulsa, OK. Realizing that his mob family may not have his best interests in mind, Dwight slowly builds a “crew” from a group of unlikely characters, to help him establish a new criminal empire in a place that to him might as well be another planet.
Season 2 will find Dwight trying to build up legal sources of revenue, such as a casino and a marijuana dispensary. Old faces from his past will pop up, and his newfound success will draw the attention of other regional crime bosses. Then there’s the law, which is never far behind Manfredi no matter how far from NYC he gets.
