Monday Night Football dominated November 20 with its largest regular season audience since 1996.
As mentioned in a separate article, the Eagles-Chiefs Super Bowl rematch delivered 28.96 million viewers across ABC, ESPN and ESPN2 Monday night (29.02M including ESPN Deportes). In addition to dominating the night on television, the Eagles’ win was the most-watched MNF regular season game in 27 years and the most-watched NFL game of the current season on any network.
As goes without saying, it also ranks as the most-watched television program since the Super Bowl.
