You might be a fan of baseball, NBA, or PGA Golf tour, but the fact is, the National Football League is still the biggest sports obsession in the US. While most of the jaw-dropping action takes place on Sundays, you can’t rule out the following day’s Monday Night Football matches. Here’s how you can watch all Monday Night Football on FireStick without cable. I will cover both paid and free ways to watch MNF. Stay with me!
NFL 2021–22 Schedule
The NFL is off to a flying start with defending champions Tampa Bay Buccaneers beating the Dallas Cowboys 31-29. The season will go on till January 9, 2022.
This is when we will witness the 2021–22 NFL champions at the Super Bowl event, which, as we all know, has a cult following due to innovative ad campaigns from sponsoring companies.
You can already learn how to watch the whole NFL season on FireStick or stream Sunday Night Football matches only. As the title suggests, I will keep the discussion around Monday Night Football matches in this post.
Attention, FireStick Users!
Governments and ISPs constantly monitor your online activity, and accessing copyrighted content on your Fire TV Stick could lead to serious trouble. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone. I strongly recommend getting the best FireStick VPN to mask your IP address and securely stream your favorites.
I personally use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN available. Not only is it easy to install on any device, it comes with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee. Plus, if you're not 100% satisfied, you can always get a refund. ExpressVPN is currently also offering a whopping 3 extra months free on their annual plan!

Who Has Streaming Rights for Monday Night Football Matches?
The NFL has awarded NFL coverage to different media companies. Amazon and FOX carry official rights for Thursday Night Football matches. As for Sunday night action, NBC remains the sole network provider under a new $2-billion-per-year agreement.
That leaves us with Monday Night Football matches. ESPN used to pay $2 billion annually for MNF matches, and starting with the 2021–22 season, the Disney-owned company will shell out $2.7 billion under a new agreement.
While ESPN is paying a premium over FOX, CBS, and NBC, it gets plenty of value in return. ESPN will have access to the Super Bowl, exclusives on ESPN Plus, and NFL highlights.
As a cable user, you can subscribe to ESPN channels and call it a day. But what about cord-cutters? If that’s you, read the following section.
How to Watch Monday Night Football on FireStick (Official Apps)
Now that you know which media company has official rights to stream Monday Night Football matches, let’s explore our options.
Your best bet is ESPN+, the company’s streaming service that lets you stream sports events in the US. Apart from that, you can sign up for any streaming service that carries the ESPN family of channels and you are all set to enjoy Monday Night Football on FireStick.
Most of these apps and services are readily available to download from the Amazon App Store. You won’t have a hard time figuring this one out.
The issue arises when you try to access these apps on FireStick outside the US. Most of them are only available in the US region. You will have to use ExpressVPN to bypass the geo-restrictions.

There are many streaming services out there that support ESPN channels. So, which one is ideal for you? Look through the details of each offer and the types of content available to help make a decision.
Some streaming services put more weight on live TV channels, while some carry huge libraries of movies and TV shows. Also, keep the number of simultaneous connections in mind if you are planning to share the service with friends and family.
1. ESPN+
ESPN is a must-have for die-hard sports fans. It carries licenses for major sports events such as La Liga, US Open, PGA Tour, UFC, and more.
