Happy Labor Day! We hope you enjoyed your long weekend. As we officially prepare for the fall season, one question comes to mind: When will we finally be able to enjoy some regular season football?

The new season officially begins this Thursday (September 8) when Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills travel to Los Angeles to battle Matthew Stafford and the Rams on NBC and Peacock Premium. The Bills finished the 21-22 regular season atop the AFC East with an 11-6 record, but lost a memorable overtime shootout to the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round of the playoffs. The Rams, let me check my notes, won the Super Bowl!

A new season officially begins in three days. Get excited, people. Here’s when Monday Night Football returns to ESPN.

IS MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL ON TONIGHT?

Nope. Sadly, there’s no Monday Night Football tonight.
