Direct answer: Yes, YouTube TV currently does not carry ESPN/ABC, so Monday Night Football is not available on YouTube TV as of the latest updates. Context and details:
- Recent developments show a carriage dispute between YouTube TV and Disney has temporarily removed ESPN, ABC, and other Disney networks from YouTube TV. This affects streaming of Monday Night Football (which airs on ESPN and ABC) for YouTube TV subscribers.
- Viewers hoping to watch MNF without YouTube TV can use alternative streaming options that carry ESPN/ABC, such as ESPN’s direct streaming option (ESPN Unlimited), Hulu + Live TV (which includes ESPN and MNF) or other live-TV services like Fubo that include ESPN. Availability and pricing vary by region and service.
- The situation was actively evolving around the MNF game airing, with outlets noting the dispute and indicating that ESPN/ABC broadcasts were not accessible on YouTube TV at that time, though a resolution could change availability before future games.
What to do next:
- If you want to watch MNF through ESPN/ABC without YouTube TV, consider subscribing to ESPN Unlimited, Hulu + Live TV (with ESPN), or another live-TV service that carries ESPN/ABC in your area. Check current pricing and any promos, since bundles and regional availability differ.
- For the most up-to-the-minute access, verify whether the dispute has been resolved on game day by checking notices from YouTube TV or ESPN, or by consulting a trusted local sports streaming guide.
If you’d like, I can look up the latest streaming options available in your country/region and square them against the current MNF game schedule.
