For one fun night, The Simpsons will be doing an NFL game.
That’s right, we’re getting an alternative broadcast of Monday’s Cincinnati Bengals and Dallas Cowboys game in Week 14, with their very own team of announcers and so much animation.
Despite the fact that it might be a mess of a game, it should be a lot of fun. And if you’re here, you might be wondering: how do you watch it? How’s it all going to work?

Fear not! We have all the info you need to know as you settle in to watch the broadcast.
What channel is The Simpsons broadcast of Monday Night Football on?
It’ll be on ESPN+, Disney+ or NFL+, all of which requires a subscription.
What time will The Simpsons game broadcast start?
That would be 8 p.m. ET before the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.
How will the Simpsons game work, exactly?
You’ll get to see the Cowboys and Bengals playing like they’re doing in real life, but thanks to Sony’s Beyond Sports Technology, it’ll look like a bunch of characters from the show are playing at Atoms Stadium in Springfield.
You’ll also get Homer, Bart, Marge, Lisa and Maggie showing up in various ways, whether it’s interviews or little vignettes. Bart is on the Bengals’ side, while Homer is all about the Cowboys.
Have we seen what it’ll look like?
