Who plays on Monday Night Football tonight? Jaguars-Bengals free live stream

The Jacksonville Jaguars will play on Monday night for the first time in 12 years when they face the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday, Dec. 4. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial), SlingTV (half off first month) and DirecTV Stream (free trial).

Josh Allen remembers the moment he heard the Jacksonville Jaguars would be playing on “Monday Night Football.”

He was working out in Arizona in May and picked up his phone to scroll through highlights of the 2023 schedule.

It meant that much to Allen. The primetime showcase might mean even more to the small-market franchise.

The Jaguars (8-3) will return to the coveted spot for the first time in a dozen years when they host the reeling Cincinnati Bengals (5-6) to end the Week 13 schedule.

Every team in the league has played on “Monday Night Football” at least seven times since Jacksonville’s 38-14 home loss to Philip Rivers and the then-San Diego Chargers on Dec. 5, 2011.

Six teams — Chicago, New Orleans, the New York Giants, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Seattle — have each played more than 20 times on “MNF” since.

The Jaguars, meanwhile, kept getting overlooked — even after making the AFC title game in the 2017 season. Their market played a role. So did the team’s lack of success; Jacksonville finished with double-digit losses 10 times in 11 seasons between 2011 and 2021.

The Jaguars are making noise. They’ve won seven of their past eight this season and 14 of 18 going back to last season. And they hope to keep it going against the Bengals, who have lost three in a row and will be without star quarterback Joe Burrow following season-ending wrist surgery.

The Bengals have struggled to do that on one of the league’s brightest stages. Cincinnati is 3-20 on the road in Monday night games, the worst record in NFL history. The Bengals have lost nine in a row on the road on “MNF,” with their previous victory coming against Cleveland in 1990.

They probably need to end the skid against Jacksonville to avoid fading in the crowded AFC playoff picture.

When is Bengals-Jaguars?

The Bengals and Jaguars meet at 7:15 p.m. (8:15 p.m. ET) on Monday, Dec. 4.
