Why there's no Monday Night Football game in Week 18 on January 8, 2024

Yes, Week 18 has officially come to a close in the NFL on Sunday.

Which means if you’re looking around for a game to watch on Monday night, I’m here to be the bearer of bad news: There’s no Monday Night Football on Monday, January 8, 2024.

Why is that? Good question! Here are a few reasons all about that:

First and most importantly: The NFL regular season has ended. The playoffs are set. Here’s the schedule for the coming week’s Super Wild Card Weekend and a look at the playoffs bracket.

Second: ESPN will be airing football — the college football national championship game between Michigan and Washington.

There you have it! Some football to watch on the Worldwide Leader on Monday!
