Why are there two ‘MNF’ games?
The NFL finalized its current media rights agreement in 2021, and as part of the deal, ESPN and ABC received additional game broadcasts, including an expansion of multi-game “Monday Night Football” airings.
The NFL has deployed “MNF” doubleheaders for years, usually to include games on both the West and East Coasts, but only recently has ESPN broadcast more of an overlapping schedule. That included early- and late-season matchups on the 2023 schedule, including when two games kicked off at the same time last December.
