What time is the NFL game tonight? TV schedule, channel for Browns vs. Ravens in Week 14

The Cleveland Browns host the Baltimore Ravens at the usual “Monday Night Football” start time of 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN in Week 14.

The Ravens (7-5) will have some work to do to get back into the AFC playoff picture, but Lamar Jackson returned in Week 13 to help that cause. Cleveland (9-3) has already guaranteed its first winning season since 2007, and now all that’s left is to ensure that ends with a postseason spot.

It should be a fun quarterback matchup between Jackson, who will have a slightly short week after playing on Tuesday, and Mayfield, who’s coming off a superb four-touchdown performance against the Titans.

Below is more about the start times for the “Monday Night Football” game in Week 14, plus everything you need to know to watch Browns vs. Ravens on ESPN.

What time is the NFL game tonight?

• Date: Monday, Dec. 14
• Matchup: Baltimore Ravens at Cleveland Browns
• Location: FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio
• Start time: 8:15 p.m. ET

With the exception of the season-opening “Monday Night Football” doubleheader back in Week 1 and the COVID-19 schedule alterations, all Monday night games are scheduled for the same start time of 8:15 p.m. ET.

This marks the first prime-time appearance for the Browns since Thursday night in Week 2, so this will be a shot for Cleveland to show all the growth its made in 2020. That will start with heavy running workloads for maybe the best backfield combo in football, Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt.

What channel is ‘Monday Night Football’ on tonight?

ESPN reportedly is trying to negotiate a better TV rights deal with the NFL to negotiate more games in the future, but in 2020, the network’s only package of NFL games is the complete slate of Monday night games. The network will broadcast all “Monday Night Football” games in 2020 on its flagship ESPN channel.

ESPN is available on most cable systems in the United States. The network also is available via satellite providers DirecTV (Channel 206) and Dish Network (Channel 140) as well as IPTV providers AT&T U-verse (Channel 602 for SD; Channel 1602 for HD), Verizon Fios (Channel 70 for SD; Channel 570 for HD) and Google Fiber (Channel 21).

ESPN has a new lineup of commentators for its “Monday Night Football” broadcasts in 2020 after moving on from last year’s broadcast booth duo of Joe Tessitore and Booger McFarland. Steve Levy (play-by-play), Brian Griese (analyst) and Louis Riddick (analyst) will call all Monday night games for ESPN this season. Lisa Salters is still the network’s sideline reporter.

NFL live stream for ‘Monday Night Football’

Because all “Monday Night Football” games in 2020 will broadcast on ESPN, they are available to stream live on all of the network’s digital platforms (ESPN.com, ESPN App, etc.). This should be the streaming preference for anybody who has a cable/satellite subscription but can’t get in front of a TV.

For cord-cutters, there are plenty of live streaming options available to watch “Monday Night Football.” Below is the list. 

‘Monday Night Football’ schedule

A total of 17 games are on the “Monday Night Football” schedule in 2020. That includes the two games in the Week 1 doubleheader and no Monday night game in Week 17. Due to COVID-19, there have also been un-branded Monday night games in three weeks.
