The NFL has planned some grand finales for each week of the 2023 season.
Between a Super Bowl rematch and a Christmas Day clash, the league is treating fans to some highly anticipated Monday Night Football games throughout the season.
Some nights will have a second showdown sprinkled in, as this year’s slate includes three Monday Night Football doubleheaders. ESPN and ABC will each broadcast a primetime game in Weeks 2, 3 and 14.

For the first time, the NFL’s initial Monday Night Football schedule might not be the final product. The league introduced Monday night flexible scheduling in 2023, allowing swaps with Sunday games between Weeks 12-17.
The Manning brothers will also be back for their Monday night broadcast this year. “Monday Night Football With Peyton and Eli” has a 10-game run that started with Week 1.
Let's look ahead to all the Monday night action in 2023.
