Finding your Monday Night Football game on DISH can sometimes feel like navigating a complex playbook. This guide will help you pinpoint the exact channel, regardless of your DISH package and the year.
Understanding the Variables:
The channel for Monday Night Football on DISH Network isn't static. It depends on several factors:
- Your DISH Package: The specific channels included in your subscription will determine where you find ESPN, ESPN2, or ABC (the networks that typically air Monday Night Football). A basic package might not have all three.
- The Year: While ESPN and ESPN2 are frequent homes for Monday Night Football, ABC also broadcasts games. The network broadcasting a particular game can change yearly.
- Your Local Affiliate: Your local ABC affiliate is crucial if ABC is broadcasting the game. DISH's channel listings for ABC vary by region.

-
Use the DISH Network Website or App: The DISH website and mobile app provide detailed channel lineups. Log in to your account and search by date and time to see which channel will be broadcasting Monday Night Football in your area. This is especially useful for checking ABC's local affiliate channel.
