2020 NFL Monday Night Football schedule: Who’s ready for some football?

The 2020 NFL regular-season schedule has been released. Who is playing on Monday Night Football this year? Let’s find out now.

Are you ready for some Monday Night Football?

As it is with every year, we scan our favorite NFL team’s schedules the second they are released and figure out when they’re playing who and when they’re playing in primetime. Though every NFL team is guaranteed at least one primetime game and no more than five, it’s always cool to see your favorite team play on Monday night.

Here are the games ESPN will be broadcasting nationally for the upcoming 2020 NFL season.

As is now tradition, Week 1 features a pair of games on Monday night. On Sept. 14, the first game will be between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Tennessee Titans in Nashville. Once that game wraps up, the nightcap will be between the New York Giants and the Denver Broncos at Mile High. It should be a great way to end the first week of the season.

Though there isn’t a game on Monday night in Week 17 as always, we have a few marquee matchups scattered throughout the slate. The most anticipated game has to be the Week 3 matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens on Sept. 28. The winner of that game might end up winning the AFC. Having the head-to-head tiebreaker will be huge.

25 of the 32 franchises will play on Monday Night Football this fall. Though no team plays on Monday night more than twice, we do have five divisional rivalry games coming in the second half of the season, including Weeks 14 through 16. Those games are the Ravens at the Cleveland Browns, the Steelers at the Cincinnati Bengals and the Buffalo Bills at the New England Patriots.

It’s nice to see ESPN got at least a handful of potentially great games this year. Usually, the television network gets bottom-of-the-barrel stuff when compared to NBC, FOX and CBS. But by giving them the best game of the early season in Baltimore at Kansas City, it means the NFL is starting to take ESPN seriously as a television partner. If they could just get the booth right…

So if your favorite team isn’t playing on Monday Night Football, that looks to be a you problem. Hopefully, your team gets better faster to merit being put on a primetime standalone game like the one airing on ESPN.
