Key matchups on Monday Night Football in 2025
The first Monday night game of the season will feature an NFC North showdown between the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings, setting up J.J. McCarthy's first game as the Vikings' quarterback and Ben Johnson's debut as the Bears' newest head coach.
Other notable Monday night clashes include a Chiefs/Commanders showdown in Week 8 while the Ravens take on Miami in Week 9. Christian McCaffrey also gets to square off against his old team in Week 12 as the 49ers play host to the Panthers.
There are also a few Monday night doubleheaders on tap, including in Week 4 as the Jets and Dolphins kick off before a Bengals/Broncos clash and in Week 6, when Bills/Falcons and Bears/Commanders are slated for the same night. The other Monday night doubleheaders fall in Week 2 (Bucs/Texans and Chargers/Raiders) and Week 7 (Bucs/Lions and Texans/Seahawks).
The Monday night schedule also includes a game that will air exclusively on ESPN+, which will be the Week 7 matchup between the Texans and Seahawks. Week 2's doubleheader will be a traditional doubleheader with one game after the other while the Week 4 and Week 6 twin bills will overlap between ABC and ESPN.
