One of the longest-running and highest-rated programs ever in the United States, there’s no doubt about Monday Night Football (MNF)’s popularity or staying power. And if you want to watch it every week, you’re going to need ESPN. But that doesn’t mean you have to let yourself be gouged by the cable companies.

Just sign up for Sling Orange and you’re golden. For $40.00/month, you get 30+ channels, including the Disney Channel, Motortrend, ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN3. ESPN3, in addition to providing overflow for the other ESPNs, simulcasts sports events televised on ABC.

If you prefer, the Manningcast is on ESPN2. Note that the Mannings only cover ten games per season, but they are contracted through 2023-24, so they will definitely be back for this upcoming season.

This is the cheapest price in the industry for ESPN. The next cheapest service to carry ESPN is Hulu + Live TV for $76.99/month. It’s not even close.

If that’s not enough NFL games for you, you can always spring for Sling Orange + Blue for $55.00/month, which will get you local channels ABC, Fox, and NBC as well (in select markets), so football fans can chill out all Sunday with their favorite teams. It also includes NFL Network. The only thing missing is CBS, which you can get with Paramount+ for $12.99/month.

You can also upgrade to the Sports Extra add-on to get more live sports channels — including many that are essential for college football:

  • Sports Extra Orange ($11/mo): ACC Network (also Extra), beIN Sports, ESPNews, ESPNU, Longhorn Network, MLB Network (also Strike Zone), NBA TV, NHL Network, SEC Network (also Plus), and Tennis Channel.
  • Sports Extra Orange & Blue ($15/mo): All the above plus Big Ten Network, FS2, Golf Channel, and NFL RedZone.

And remember, you can watch Sling TV on pretty much all of your streaming devices from iPhone and Android smartphones to stick devices like Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, and Roku, to big-screen smart TVs from LG, Samsung, Vizio, and more.
