• Monday Night Countdown Up 6% Year-Over-Year

ESPN’s Monday Night Football Week 5 matchup (October 7, 8:15 p.m. ET) drew nearly 16 million viewers, ESPN’s most-watched MNF game – which was not simulcast on ABC – since November of the 2019 season (50+ games). Dating back to 2015 and accounting for the last 10 seasons (2015-24), the Saints-Chiefs clash is the fourth-most-watched Monday Night Football game which was not simulcast on ABC (135+ games).

The audience of 15,910,000 for Saints-Chiefs (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN Deportes) bested the audience of Monday Night Football’s 2022 Week 5 Raiders-Chiefs game (15,888,000 viewers on ESPN and ESPN Deportes), which also was not simulcast on ABC and represented ESPN’s most-watched, non-ABC simulcast game since Nov. 2019 prior to this week.

Excluding the audience from ESPN Deportes from all audiences mentioned above, Saints-Chiefs superlatives all remain true.
