The Cleveland Browns won the first game of the 2023 NFL season, defeating the New York Jets 21-16 in the Hall of Fame Game. With the preseason officially underway, are there any NFL games tonight? Here’s a look at the Monday Night Football schedule for the entire season, including start times, channels, and live stream options.
Are There NFL Games Tonight?
Despite the Browns and Jets bringing back some NFL action for the first time in five and a half months, NFL fans will have to wait till Thursday for the next slate of preseason tilts. All 32 teams will take the field as franchises continue to trim and fine-tune rosters to make their way to 53 players.
If there are no NFL games tonight, are there any Monday Night Football matchups in the 2023 preseason? Let’s take a look.
Are There Any Preseason Monday Night Football Games?
After extending the regular season to 17 games in 2021, the NFL jointly decided to shorten the preseason from four to three weeks. Excluding Hall of Fame week, the 2023 preseason runs from Aug. 9 through Sept. 6, with all teams playing three games.
There is only one MNF preseason game in Week 2 during that time frame. Here’s how and when to watch the Ravens and Commanders face off in “The Beltway Bowl.”
Baltimore Ravens at Washington Commanders
- Date: Monday, Aug. 21
- Start time: 8 p.m. ET
- Channel: ESPN

What Is the Rest of the Monday Night Football Schedule?
While there’s just one Monday matchup during the preseason, ESPN set a new personal record with a 25-game slate for the 2023 season. This includes 19 Monday Night Football broadcasts with three doubleheaders and the return of the Manningcast.
With so many matches, announcers Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, and Lisa Salters all have their work cut out. Here’s a look at the entire MNF schedule for the 2023 regular season.
