Why there’s no Monday Night Football game in Week 17 on January 1, 2024

There’s a good reason for this.

Yes, Week 17 has officially come to a close in the NFL on Sunday.

Which means if you’re looking around for a game to watch on Monday night, I’m here to be the bearer of bad news: There’s no Monday Night Football on Monday, January 1, 2024.

Why is that? Good question! Here are a few reasons all about that:

First: ESPN broadcast Saturday’s Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys game with their MNF crew.

Second: January 1 is usually a day for college football bowl games, and that is the case this year, too.

Third: ESPN is airing those bowl games, including two of the College Football Playoff semifinal games on Monday night.

There you have it! Some football to watch on the Worldwide Leader on Monday!
