Missing out on tonight's 'Monday Night Football' game between the Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals? Unfortunately, if you're a YouTube TV subscriber, you're going to have to find another way to watch this exciting matchup.
On October 30th, a major shake-up occurred: YouTube TV lost access to all Disney-owned channels. This includes popular channels like ABC, ESPN, FX, Freeform, and National Geographic. YouTube TV stated that they advocate for fair pricing when renewing contracts to provide the best experience for their members. However, a deal could not be reached with Disney.
This means that subscribers will be missing out on not only 'Monday Night Football' but also the NBA on ESPN and college football coverage on ESPN and ABC.
So, how can you watch 'Monday Night Football' without YouTube TV? Here's what you need to know:
What Time Is 'Monday Night Football' Tonight?
The game kicks off at 8:15 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on ABC, ESPN, and NFL+.Is Tonight’s 'Monday Night Football' Game Available On YouTube TV?
No. Because of the dispute with Disney, you won't be able to watch ABC and ESPN on YouTube TV. There's no current information on when or if these channels will return.
How To Watch 'Monday Night Football' Without YouTube TV:
- Cable Login: If you have a cable login, you can stream the game live on ABC, ESPN, or the ABC website.
- ESPN's Unlimited Bundle: Consider ESPN's Unlimited bundle, which includes ESPN, Hulu, and Disney+ for $29.99 per month for 12 months (or just ESPN for $29.99 per month).
- Other Streaming Services: You can also watch 'MNF' live with a subscription to fuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, NFL+, DIRECTV, or Sling TV.
And this is the part most people miss... FuboTV, DIRECTV, and Hulu + Live TV often offer free trials for new subscribers, so you could potentially catch the game without paying if you haven't used their trial before.
But here's where it gets controversial... The ongoing disputes between streaming services and content providers are a constant battle. Do you think the consumer is truly getting the best deal, or are we stuck in a cycle of rising prices and limited access? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
