The New England Patriots bring a nine-game winning streak into tonight’s Monday Night Football game against the New York Giants, but if there’s any team that could put an end to a long run good fortune for the Pats, it’s the Giants. And the G-men should have their starting quarterback back for tonight’s game. Rookie QB Jaxson Dart has missed the last two games with a concussion but is expected to suit up against the Patriots.
The Giants and Patriots kick off tonight at 8:15 p.m. ET (5:15 p.m. PT) on ESPN. You can flip over to ESPN2 during the game to catch the ManningCast with brothers Peyton and Eli, the popular alternative broadcast where the former NFL greats analyze the game and chat with different guests each week.

How to watch Giants vs. Patriots on Monday Night Football
If you don’t have a cable or satellite TV subscription, you can watch tonight’s game on ESPN and the ManningCast on ESPN2 with ESPN’s streaming app or a live TVÂ streaming service, including some of the new skinny bundles that cost less per month than a full package with many channels you probably will never watch.
Fans in the local markets of each team will be able to watch the game on an over-the-air station. For this game, that’s MY9 (WWOR) in New York and New Jersey and ABC 5 (WCVB) in Boston, according to 506 Sports.Â
ESPN DTC comes in two flavors. The ESPN Unlimited plan costs $30 a month (or $300 a year) and lets you stream all ESPN linear networks: ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNews, ESPN Deportes, SEC Network and ACC Network. You also get access to programming on ESPN on ABC, ESPN Plus, ESPN3, SECN Plus and ACCNX. For NFL fans, this new ESPN service lets you watch every Monday Night Football game and the ManningCast for the 12 weeks it airs (11 weeks during the regular season and a Wild Card playoff game). There is also a $12 a month ESPN Select plan that is like a rebranding of ESPN Plus. It offers you access to thousands of live games — including small college conferences, whose games you can’t watch anywhere else — but not the NFL.
Fubo recently introduced a $56 per month skinny bundle for sports fans that includes ESPN as well as most of the other channels you need to watch football each week of the season: ABC, CBS and NFL Network. It does not include NBC. To also get NBC for Sunday Night Football, you need to spring for Fubo’s standard plan that costs $85 a month.Â

YouTube TV is the exclusive home to NFL Sunday Ticket. But note that Sunday Ticket does not include local games.

If you want to watch all the football on Sundays you need Sunday Ticket plus a YouTube TV subscription (or get Sunday Ticket and use an antenna for local games).Â
