NFL Announces Complete 2026 Monday Night Football Schedule
Yahoo Sports has released the full schedule for the 2026 Monday Night Football (MNF) season, highlighting marquee matchups involving prominent NFL teams. The season kicks off in Week 1 with a divisional rivalry game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Denver Broncos. Notable later fixtures include the Seattle Seahawks hosting both the Chicago Bears in Week 8 and the Dallas Cowboys in Week 13. A significant structural change for the upcoming season is the elimination of simultaneous Monday night doubleheaders on ABC and ESPN, a format used in previous years. All games are scheduled to begin at 8:15 p.m. ET. The announcement also notes that Super Bowl LXI, set for February 2026 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, will mark the first Super Bowl broadcast on ESPN. The schedule features various high-profile contests, such as the Philadelphia Eagles visiting the Chicago Bears in Week 3 and the Cowboys facing the Eagles in Week 7, providing fans with a clear lineup for the fall season.
