ESPN’s Monday Night Football 2024 season opener averaged 20.5 million viewers (ESPN, ABC, ESPN2, ESPN+ and ESPN Deportes) for the 49ers’ convincing 32-19 win over the Jets (September 9, 8:15 p.m. ET). The audience is Monday Night Football’s second-most-watched Week 1 matchup in ESPN’s 19 seasons airing the legendary television franchise ((2006 – present, 34 games).

Joe Buck, Troy Aikman and Lisa Salters Call ESPN’s Most-Watched Week 1 Monday Night Football Games

The three seasons of Monday Night Football with Joe Buck, Troy Aikman and Lisa Salters on the mic have scored as the three most-watched Week 1 games in the ESPN era. The trio was joined this season by Laura Rutledge on site in San Francisco.

Monday Night Football Continues Momentum of Top Games: The strong start to the 2024 season campaign continues the momentum for Monday Night Football. Accounting for all weeks, the Jets-49ers is the sixth-most-watched Monday Night Football game in the ESPN era, with four of the preceding five occurring during the 2023 season.

Monday Night Countdown Draws 1.3 Million Viewers: Leading into the game, Monday Night Countdown (6-8 p.m.) averaged 1.3 million viewers, as Ryan Clark, Jason Kelce, and Marcus Spears joined Scott Van Pelt for the crew’s first on-site show together. Adam Schefter also appeared on the programming from Levi’s Stadium.
