Monday Night Football returns this week with a matchup between the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium on September 14 at 8:15 p.m. ET. The Broncos finished last season strong with a 14-3 record and an AFC West title, though their postseason run ended after quarterback Bo Nix sustained an ankle injury. The Chiefs, meanwhile, are hoping to rebound from a disappointing 2025 campaign that saw them miss the playoffs for the first time since 2012, largely due to Patrick Mahomes’ season-ending knee injury. Mahomes returns tonight as the betting favorite, with Kansas City favored by 2.5 points.
For those without cable access, several streaming options are available to watch the game. ESPN will broadcast the matchup on television, with livestreaming available through services including DirecTV, Fubo, and Sling. DirecTV and Fubo both offer five-day free trials, providing viewers with cost-free access to the game. Sling requires a paid subscription starting at $45.99 monthly, while ESPN Unlimited offers direct streaming for $29.99 monthly or $299.99 annually. These platforms give cord-cutters multiple pathways to follow the AFC West rivalry from home.
