ESPN+ is ramping up its lineup of NFL content for the 2022 season, including multiple live games and the first-ever ESPN+ exclusive matchup. In the past, ESPN+ has been lacking when it comes to live NFL coverage, so this year's streaming schedule should make the service a better value for football fans.
Most of the NFL games on ESPN+ will be Monday Night Football matchups, which will also air on the ESPN cable channel and ABC. ESPN+ will also stream Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli, also known by fans as the Manningcast, during three weeks of the season.
ESPN+ costs $ 10 a month, and can also be bundled with Disney Plus and Hulu for a current starting price of $ 14 a month. The standard bundle price will increase to $ 15 a month starting December 8.
Does ESPN+ stream NFL games?
A total of nine NFL games are scheduled to stream on ESPN+ during the 2022 season, including five Monday Night matchups, a Wild Card playoff game, two Saturday games, and the NFL's annual London game.
The London game on October 30 will be exclusive to ESPN+. Every other NFL game on ESPN+ will be simulcast by ESPN and/or ABC.
Though the ESPN cable network will broadcast additional NFL games throughout the season, not all of these matchups will stream on ESPN+. Unfortunately, that means there won't be NFL games on ESPN+ during every week of the season.
