Monday Night Football Experiencing Best Viewership Since 2010 ESPN's Monday Night Football viewership is at its highest since 2010 through the first nine weeks of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman's first season and nearly 90 million fans have watched MNF this season, providing a foundation for successes across ESPN's entire NFL portfolio. Outside of the significant season-to-date viewership, ESPN also introduced two new initiatives this season to immediate success - the Week 2 multi-game option which generated more than 20 million viewers across Disney networks during overlapping game action and the most-streamed event ever on ESPN with its first exclusive game in Week 8.
Furthermore, Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli continues to re-write the records for ESPN alternate telecasts, while multiple ESPN studio shows are seeing multi-year viewership highs thus far in the season.
