Are you ready for some football?
The NFL is planning some grand finales for each week of the 2023 season.
The league announced its full schedule on May 11, and it features a loaded schedule for Monday Night Football. Between a Super Bowl rematch, a Christmas Day clash and Aaron Rodgers’ Jets debut, fans will be treated to some highly anticipated Monday night 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 is introducing 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” is back for a 10-game run starting Week 1. The remaining schedule will be announced at a later date.
There’s a long way to go before Monday Night Football officially kicks off, but let’s look ahead at the schedule.
