NFL fans can look forward to four Monday Night Football doubleheaders this season, starting with two games tonight. The New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers get underway at 7:15 p.m. ET (4:15 p.m. PT) on ESPN and ESPN2, and the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers kick off an hour later at 8:15 p.m. ET (5:15 p.m. PT) on ABC and ESPN Plus.
The staggered start times mean you’ll be able to see the end of each game, with plenty of overlap to be able to flip back and forth to avoid commercials. Joe Buck and Troy Aikman will be in Pittsburgh to call the Browns-Steelers game. A three-man booth of Chris Fowler, Dan Orlovsky and Louis Riddick will call the Saints-Panthers game in Charlotte.
After a dominating performance last week, Myles Garrett and the Cleveland Browns defense will look to shut down the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football.

Sling TV’s Sling Orange plan includes ESPN and ESPN2 but not ABC, and the Blue plan includes ABC (in only in a handful of markets) but not either ESPN channel. Each plan costs $45 a month in the areas with ABC ($40 elsewhere), and the combined Orange-and-Blue plan that will let you watch both games costs $60 a month ($55 in markets without ABC).
