ESPN Monday Night Football (abbreviated as MNF and also known as ESPN Monday Night Football on ABC for a rare live special) is a live telecast of weekly National Football League (NFL) games on ESPN in the United States. From 1970 to 2005, it aired on sister television channel ABC. Monday Night Football was, along with Hallmark Hall of Fame and the Walt Disney anthology television series, one of the longest-running primetime programs ever to air on commercial network television, and one of the most beloved, especially among male viewers. MNF is preceded on the air by the Monday evening countdown.
