When to watch the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers?
- Monday, Nov. 4, at 8:15 p.m. ET (5:15 p.m. PT).
Where to watch:
- The Bucs-Chiefs game will shown on ABC and ESPN. The ManningCast will be shown on ESPN2.
The Chiefs have not looked like their dominant selves this year as they try for a third consecutive Super Bowl title, and yet they’re the NFL’s only remaining undefeated team after eight weeks. They have failed to hit 30 points in any of their wins, and Patrick Mahomes has thrown more interceptions than touchdown passes.
Kansas City will look to move to a perfect 8-0 tonight against the 4-4 Buccaneers, who have dropped two straight games and are missing Baker Mayfield’s top two targets in Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
The Buccaneers and Chiefs kick off tonight at 8:15 p.m. ET (5:15 p.m. PT) on ABC and ESPN. You can flip over to ESPN2 during the game to catch the ManningCast with brothers Peyton and Eli, the popular alternative broadcast where the former NFL greats analyze the game and chat with different guests each week.
If you don’t have a cable or satellite TV subscription, you can watch Monday Night Football with a live TV streaming service. The good news for football fans is that ABC, ESPN and ESPN2 are available on all five major streaming services.
Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers tonight on Monday Night Football.
How to watch MNF without cable
The key channel for Monday Night Football is ESPN. Nearly every Monday night game will be shown on ESPN, with seven weeks also appearing on ABC and ESPN Plus. The only time you won’t be able to watch a MNF game on ESPN is the last MNF doubleheader of the season for Week 15 when one game will be on ESPN and the other will be on ABC and ESPN Plus.
You can also watch Monday Night Football on ABC for most weeks left in the season; Weeks 10 and 13 will be shown on ESPN only.
The ManningCast on ESPN2 is scheduled for most Monday nights during the season and one Wild Card game, with six of those regular-season Monday nights and the Wild Card game also streaming on ESPN Plus.
YouTube TV costs $73 a month and includes ESPN, ESPN2 and ABC, which are all the channels you need for MNF and the ManningCast. Right now, the first two months are discounted to $50 a month. And there is a 21-day free trial. Plug in your ZIP code on YouTube TV’s welcome page to see which local networks are available in your area.
Sling TV’s Sling Orange plan includes ESPN and ESPN2 but not ABC, and the Blue plan includes ABC (in only in a handful of markets) but neither ESPN channel. Each plan costs $45 a month in the areas with ABC and $40 elsewhere. The combined Orange-and-Blue plan costs $55 or $60 a month.
Fubo’s basic plan costs $80 a month and includes ABC, ESPN and ESPN2, but Fubo charges an RSN fee (either $12 a month if you get one RSN or $15 a month if you have two or more in your area) that raises the monthly charge to $92 or $95. Fubo is currently offering $30 off for the first month of some of its plans, which means you can get its base Pro plan for $62 or $65 to start. Click here to see which local channels you get.
